Overall team records

In this ranking 3 points are awarded for a win, 1 for a draw and 0 for a loss. As per statistical convention in football, matches decided in extra time are counted as wins and losses, while matches decided by penalty shoot-outs are counted as draws. Teams are ranked by total points, then by goal difference, then by goals scored.{{cite web|url=https://www.rsssf.org/tablesc/cam-women-allt.html|title=All-Time Ranking CONCACAF Women's Gold Cup 1991-2014|website=RSSSF|access-date=10 September 2021}}
