2002 CONCACAF Women's Gold Cup

The 2002 CONCACAF Women's Gold Cup was the sixth staging of the CONCACAF Women's Gold Cup. It was held in Seattle, Washington, United States and Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. The winning team, the United States, and runners-up, Canada, qualified for the 2003 FIFA Women's World Cup. The U.S. were later awarded hosting rights to the 2003 tournament, replacing China due to the SARS outbreak.^[1] The third-placed Mexico played against Japan in two play-off matches for qualification.
