Central American and Caribbean Championships in Athletics

Not to be confused with NACAC Championships in Athletics.

The Central American and Caribbean (CAC) Championships was an international track and field athletics event organised by the Central American and Caribbean Athletic Confederation (CACAC), held once every two years from 1967 to 2013. Only athletes representing a member nation of the confederation were permitted to compete. Started in 1967, the event was held every two years except for the 2007 edition which was held in 2008 instead.

After 24 editions it was replaced with the NACAC Championships, beginning in 2015.
