The North American Football Confederation (NAFC) Championship "(also known as the North American Nations Cup)" was the soccer championship for the North American Football Confederation. The NAFC held this competition in 1947, 1949, 1989 and 1991. In 1949, the NAFC Championship served both as a regional championship as well as the regional qualification tournament for the 1950 FIFA World Cup and was held in Mexico City. Four team were invited, Cuba, Mexico, Canada and the United States, but Canada did not send a team.

Mexico easily topped the standings, going undefeated and outscoring the two other teams seventeen goals to two. The United States came in second and Cuba, winless in its four games, was third. As the top two teams qualified for the World Cup, Mexico and the U.S. went to the finals in Brazil.
