The 1989 CONCACAF Championship was last edition held under the format of serving as qualification to the World Cup (Italy 1990) and having no host nation for the final round. Mexico was disqualified for fielding over-aged players in a youth tournament, so Costa Rica advanced to the Final Round almost unopposed. Costa Rica came out victorious to win their third title and participate in their first World Cup ever. USA managed a surprise qualification as well, dubbed "The Shot Heard around the World", by beating Trinidad and Tobago in Port of Spain 1-0.

A total of 16 CONCACAF teams entered the competition. However, FIFA rejected the entry of Belize due to debts to FIFA. The North, Central American and Caribbean zone was allocated 2 places (out of 24) in the final tournament.
