Overview

The North American Football Confederation (NAFC) held a similar competition in 1947 and 1949. While Canada was a founding member of the NAFC, it did not participate in the first two championships. In 1990, the North American Zone re-introduced its championship, hosted by Canada.^[2] Although Mexico and Canada sent their full national teams, the U.S. sent its B-team and does not count these games as part of its official internationals.
