The Caribbean Cup was an association football competition organized by CFU as its top regional tournament for men's senior national teams from the Caribbean. The tournament was held from 1989 to 2017, as the direct successor competition of the CFU Championship and also served as a qualification method for the CONCACAF Gold Cup.

Trinidad and Tobago, eight-time champions, and Jamaica, six-time champions, were the most successful teams, winning a combined 14 titles of 18 editions. Martinique, Haiti, Cuba and Curaçao also won the tournament.

In 1990 on the day of the final, an insurrection in Trinidad and Tobago, the host nation, by the Jamaat al Muslimeen forced an abandonment of the tournament with only the final and 3rd place play-off game remaining. Also, the tournament was not held in 2000, 2002 and 2003.

The 2017 edition of the tournament was the 19th and final. The tournament was discontinued in favour of participation in the CONCACAF Nations League.{{cite web|title=CONCACAF Nations League to replace Caribbean Cup|url=https://www.caribbeannationalweekly.com/caribbean-breaking-news-featured/concacaf-nations-league-replace-carib-cup/|publisher=Caribbean National Weekly|access-date=19 April 2018|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180420043231/https://www.caribbeannationalweekly.com/caribbean-breaking-news-featured/concacaf-nations-league-replace-carib-cup/|archive-date=20 April 2018}}

Sponsors

Over the years, the tournament has been named after its respective sponsors. Shell had sponsored the competition since its inception in 1989.{{cite news|title=Shell Football Cup to kick off April 1989|publisher=Jamaica Gleaner|pages=12|date=25 August 1988}}

By February 1996, Jack Warner had announced a new sponsorship from sports apparel company Umbro for the 1996 Caribbean Cup.{{cite news|title=CFU boss takes shot at regional federations|publisher=Jamaica Gleaner|page=1|date=28 February 1996}} The tournament was also co-sponsored by Umbro in 1997 before Shell re-attained sole-sponsorship for the 1998 event.

In October 1998, during the first and only year of sponsorship from the Asia Sport Group (now World Sport Group), the competition changed its name to Copa Caribe. CFU's chairman Jack Warner stated that the change was made to highlight the competition being a branch of the Copa de Oro.{{cite news|title=New name for Carib champs|publisher=Kingston Gleaner|pages=20|date=1 October 1998}} Florida-based Inter/Forever (now Traffic Group) agreed a sponsorship deal to replace the Asia Sport Group agreement in January 1999.{{cite news|title=New Sponsor, Format For Cup|publisher=Jamaica Gleaner|date=7 January 1999}} The competition retained the title Copa Caribe for the 1999 and 2001 editions.

There was no competition held in 2003, instead teams focused on a group-stage only qualifying tournament.

Caribbean-based mobile phone company Digicel took over the sponsorship in 2004,{{cite news|title=Busy week for CFU's Burrell|publisher=Jamaica Gleaner|pages=14|date=26 April 2004}} in June 2007 they agreed to sponsor the 2008 and 2010 events.{{cite web|title=DIGICEL RENEWS SPONSORSHIP OF THE DIGICEL CARIBBEAN CUP|url=http://www.digicelgroup.com/fr/media-center/press-releases/sponsorship/digicel-renews-sponsorship-of-the-digicel-caribbean-cup|publisher=Digicel Group|access-date=19 August 2012|date=8 June 2007|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130403135612/http://www.digicelgroup.com/fr/media-center/press-releases/sponsorship/digicel-renews-sponsorship-of-the-digicel-caribbean-cup|archive-date=3 April 2013}} The 2012 and 2014 editions of the competition had no title sponsor, while the last tournament (in 2017) was sponsored by Scotiabank.{{cite web |url=https://en.wikinews.org/wiki/Cura%C3%A7ao_wins_maiden_Caribbean_Cup |title=Curaçao wins maiden Caribbean Cup - Wikinews, the free news source |access-date=2018-06-01 |archive-date=2017-12-06 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171206005044/https://en.wikinews.org/wiki/Cura%C3%A7ao_wins_maiden_Caribbean_Cup |url-status=live }}
