The NACAC Cross Country Championships is an annual regional cross country running competition for athletes representing member nations of the North America, Central America and Caribbean Athletic Association (NACAC).[1] The event was inaugurated in 2005 and was held in Florida, United States until 2009. The following two editions were held in Trinidad and Tobago.[2]

The event comprises four separate races: an 8 km senior men's race, a 6 km senior women's race, a 6 km junior men's race and finally a 4 km junior women's race.[3]

Between 1983-2003, the event was preceded by the Central American and Caribbean Cross Country Championships organized by the Central American and Caribbean Athletic Confederation (CACAC).

The 2020 edition was held in conjunction with the 2020 Pan American Cross Country Cup.[4] The 2021 edition was postponed to 10 December 2022 in Honduras, but was not ultimately held.[5][6][7] As of 2024, the meeting has not been held since 2019 and is not scheduled in the NACAC 2024-2026 calendar.[8]
