The 1992 Caribbean Cup, known as the Shell Caribbean Cup for sponsorship reasons, was the 10th international association football championship for members of the Caribbean Football Union (CFU). It was the fourth edition of the Caribbean Cup which replaced the CFU Championship. Hosted by Trinidad and Tobago, the competition ran from 17–27 June 1992 and was contested by the national teams of Antigua and Barbuda, Cuba, Guadeloupe, Jamaica, Martinique, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Suriname and Trinidad and Tobago.

The final tournament began with the first matches in the group stage on 17 June 1992 and ended with the final on 27 June 1992. In a replay of the previous year's final, Trinidad and Tobago defeated Jamaica 3–1 in the final to win the competition for the second time.

Background

The Caribbean Football Union (CFU) was founded in January 1978 as a sub-confederation of the Confederation of North, Central America and Caribbean Association Football (CONCACAF).[1] Later the same year, the first CFU Championship was organised in Trinidad and Tobago. The competition was held semi-regularly until the final edition in 1988. From 1989, it was replaced by the Caribbean Cup.[2]

The tournament was sponsored by Royal Dutch Shell following the input of employees of Shell Antilles and Gulanas Ltd.[3]

Jamaica were the defending champions after winning the previous edition as hosts.[4] Both Jamaica and Trinidad and Tobago had won the competition once from the first three editions, one of which was unfinished.[2]

Format

A qualifying tournament was held to determine six of the eight teams that would participate in the final tournament. Hosts Trinidad and Tobago and holders Jamaica qualified automatically. The 20 competing teams were drawn into six groups of two, three or four teams. The groups of three or four teams were played as a single round-robin where each team would play all of the others once. The winner of each group would qualify for the final tournament. The group of two teams was played as a two-legged tie and the team scoring more goals on aggregate would qualify for the final tournament.[5]

For the final tournament, the eight teams were drawn into two groups of four teams. Each group was played as a single round-robin where each team would play all of the others once. The winners and runners-up of each group would contest the semi-finals with the winners advancing to the final and the losers contesting the third-place play-off.[5]
