The 2009 CONCACAF Gold Cup was the tenth edition of the Gold Cup and the twentieth championship of the CONCACAF region, hosted by the United States from July 3 to July 26, 2009.[1]
What the record does show is a competition that used the same host nation and the same underlying participant structure as the 2007 edition, with the tournament field again made up of CONCACAF member associations rather than invited guests from other confederations.[1] Any claim that the 2009 mark was a deliberate redesign, or that it carried a specific symbolic program, cannot be verified from reliable sources.
