2007 CONCACAF Gold Cup#Group A

A total of 12 teams qualified for the tournament. Three berths were allocated to North America, five to Central America, and four to the Caribbean.

{{main|2007 CONCACAF Gold Cup squads}}

The 12 national teams involved in the tournament were required to register a squad of 23 players; only players in these squads were eligible to take part in the tournament.

The twelve teams that qualified were divided into three groups. The top two teams in each group advanced to the knockout stage along with the best two of the third-place teams, filling out the knockout field of eight.

If teams were level on points, they were ranked on the following criteria in order:

1. Head to head matches between the tied teams (if applicable)
2. Greatest goal difference in group matches
3. Greatest number of goals scored in the three group matches
4. If teams are still tied, CONCACAF will hold a drawing of lots

The All-Tournament Team was selected by the CONCACAF Technical Study Group and features the "Best XI" along with seven Honorable Mentions. The player selections were made from the eight teams that reached the quarterfinals of the 2007 CONCACAF Gold Cup.{{cite news |agency=AP |url=http://www.terra.com/deportes/articulo/html/fox409719.htm |title=All-Tournament Team Unveiled |work=Terra.com |publisher=Terra Networks |date=June 23, 2007 |access-date=July 24, 2009 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110527171435/http://www.terra.com/deportes/articulo/html/fox409719.htm |archive-date=May 27, 2011}}

During the last minutes of the semi-final match between Canada and the U.S.A., Canada's Atiba Hutchinson scored a goal that would have equalised the score for Canada. However, a linesman erroneously indicated that Hutchinson was offside, and the referee Benito Archundia subsequently nullified Hutchinson's goal. Video replays showed that the football came into contact with the U.S.A.'s defender Oguchi Onyewu immediately before Hutchinson scored the goal.{{Cite web
