The CCCF Championship was an association football (soccer) tournament made for teams in the area of Central America and the Caribbean between the years of 1941 and 1961. It was founded in 1938 and the precursor of the CONCACAF, that was formed when the Confederación Centroamericana y del Caribe de Fútbol (CCCF) merged with the North American Football Confederation (NAFC) in 1961.
The North American Football Confederation also organized the NAFC Championship in 1947 and 1949 before the introduction of the CONCACAF Championship.
The CCCF Championship was succeeded by the CONCACAF in 1961, along with NAFC following the merger.
