The 1961 CCCF Championship was the tenth and last edition of the CCCF Championship, the tournament took place from March 5 to 19, 1961 in the Costa Rican capital (San José).

This was the last edition of the tournament because in September of the same year, the Confederación Centroamericana y del Caribe de Fútbol would merge with the NAFC to create the new Confederation of North, Central America and Caribbean Football, Concacaf, which would later found the CONCACAF Championship that began in 1963. The champion was the host Costa Rica.
