The '''1998 CONCACAF Gold Cup''' was the fourth edition of the [[CONCACAF Gold Cup|Gold Cup]], the [[association football|soccer]] championship for the member associations of [[CONCACAF]], which governs the sport in [[North America]], [[Central America]], and the [[Caribbean]].

The tournament was once again held in the [[United States]], with matches played in [[Los Angeles]], [[Miami]], and [[Oakland, California]]. The format of the tournament changed from [[1996 CONCACAF Gold Cup|1996]]: it was expanded to ten teams, with four in Group A and three each in Groups B and C. The top team in each group, plus the second place in Group A would advance to the semifinals. [[Brazil national football team|Brazil]] was invited again, and brought their senior team this time. Prior to the tournament, [[Canada men's national soccer team|Canada]] withdrew due to a lack of available players and were replaced by [[Jamaica national football team|Jamaica]].<ref>{{cite news |last=Davidson |first=Neil |date=November 26, 1997 |title=Canada looking to play host to group of World Cup finalists |page=E7 |work=[[Vancouver Sun]] |agency=[[The Canadian Press]] |url=https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-vancouver-sun-canada-looking-to-play/127638369/ |via=[[Newspapers.com]] |accessdate=July 4, 2023}}</ref>

Jamaica topped Group A over Brazil, who they tied 0–0, in a surprise result for the team. In the semi-finals, the [[United States men's national soccer team|United States]] beat Brazil, as [[Preki]] scored the lone goal and [[Kasey Keller]] preserved the clean sheet. The United States could not repeat that performance in front of a pro-Mexican final crowd in [[Los Angeles]]. [[Mexico national football team|Mexico]] won their third straight Gold Cup, 1–0, on a [[Luis Hernández (footballer, born 1968)|Luis Hernández]] goal.
