The 1967 CONCACAF Champions' Cup was the 3rd edition of the top international club competition organized by CONCACAF for clubs from North America, Central America and the Caribbean, the CONCACAF Champions' Cup. It determined the 1967 continental football champions in the CONCACAF region. The tournament was played by 10 clubs from 10 national associations: Netherlands Antilles, Bermuda, El Salvador, United States, Guatemala, Haiti, Honduras, Jamaica, Nicaragua, Trinidad and Tobago. The tournament was held from 6 August 1967 till 24 March 1968.
The teams were split into three zones (North American, Central American and Caribbean), each one qualifying the winner to the final tournament, where the winners of the North and Central zones played a semi-final to decide who was going to play against the Caribbean champion in the final. All the matches in the tournament were played under the home/away match system. Alianza from El Salvador won the final, and became CONCACAF champions for the first time.[1]
