NAFC Championship

[edit]

The NAFC Championship was the first official football competition for senior national teams of North America. It was organized by the North American Football Confederation (NAFC), which was a predecessor confederation of CONCACAF and the governing football body in North America, from 1946 to 1961. The tournament was held in 1947 and 1949.

NAFC merged with the CCCF to form the current CONCACAF in 1961 and the NAFC Championship was replaced by the CONCACAF Championship in 1963.
