The '''2000 CONCACAF Gold Cup''' was the fifth edition of the [[CONCACAF Gold Cup|Gold Cup]], the [[Association football|soccer]] championship of [[North America]], [[Central America]] and the [[Caribbean]] ([[CONCACAF]]), and the 15th overall [[CONCACAF]] tournament. It was held in [[Los Angeles]], [[Miami]], and [[San Diego]] in the [[United States]]. The format of the tournament changed from [[1998 CONCACAF Gold Cup|1998]]; it was expanded to twelve teams, split into four groups of three. The top two teams in each group would advance to the quarter-finals. [[Peru national football team|Peru]] and [[Colombia national football team|Colombia]] were invited from [[CONMEBOL]], and [[South Korea national football team|the Republic of Korea]] was invited from [[Asian Football Confederation|AFC]].

With all three games in Group D ending in ties and [[Canada men's national soccer team|Canada]] tied with the Republic of Korea on every tiebreaker, a [[Coin flipping|coin toss]] was used. [[Canada men's national soccer team|Canada]] won and advanced to the quarter-finals. They went on to win their first and to date only Gold Cup title. In the quarter-finals, Canada upset defending champions [[Mexico national football team|Mexico]] in [[golden goal]] [[Overtime (sports)|extra time]] 2–1. They defeated [[Trinidad and Tobago national football team|Trinidad and Tobago]] in the semi-finals 1–0 after [[Craig Forrest]] saved a first-half penalty. Already assured as [[CONCACAF]] champions, Canada topped invitees [[Colombia national football team|Colombia]] 2–0 in the final.<ref>{{cite news |title=Canada win Gold Cup |url=https://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/sport/football/659518.stm |work=BBC Sport |publisher=British Broadcasting Corporation |date=February 28, 2000 |access-date=February 9, 2012}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.rednationonline.ca/Norman_Da_Costa_Recalls_the_2000_Gold_Cup_Experience_feb_26_10_column.shtml |title=Norman da Costa Recalls the 2000 Gold Cup Experience |access-date=February 27, 2010 |url-status = dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100328181738/http://www.rednationonline.ca/Norman_Da_Costa_Recalls_the_2000_Gold_Cup_Experience_feb_26_10_column.shtml |archive-date=March 28, 2010 |first=Norman |last=Da Costa |work=RedNationOnline |date=February 26, 2010 }}</ref>

The tournament marks the only time a CONCACAF Gold Cup has been won by a country other than the United States or Mexico, and the only time in the tournament's history that neither the United States nor Mexico made the final, both losing in the quarterfinals.
