The 2021 CONCACAF Gold Cup was the 16th edition of the CONCACAF Gold Cup, the biennial international men's soccer championship of the North, Central American, and Caribbean region organized by CONCACAF.

The tournament was originally scheduled to be held from 2 through July 25, 2021, but was later rescheduled for July 10 through August 1.[1][2] Mexico were the defending champions. For the first time, the video assistant referee (VAR) system was used at the tournament.[3]

The United States won their seventh Gold Cup title by defeating Mexico 1–0 in the final at Allegiant Stadium in Paradise, Nevada.
