The 1955 CCCF Championship was the seventh international association football championship for members of the Confederación Centroamericana y del Caribe de Fútbol (CCCF). Hosted by Honduras, the competition ran from 14–29 August 1955 and was contested by the national teams of Aruba, Costa Rica, Cuba, Curaçao, El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras.
Guatemala withdrew after playing three matches following an on field incident in their match against Costa Rica. Their results were subsequently annulled from the competition. Defending champions Costa Rica won the competition for the fifth time. In the final matches of the round-robin tournament, they were crowned champions after completing a clean and winning all of their matches by defeating Honduras 2–1.
Background
The Confederación Centroamericana y del Caribe de Fútbol (CCCF) was founded in 1938. Along with the North American Football Confederation (NAFC), it was a precursor organisation to the Confederation of North, Central America and Caribbean Association Football (CONCACAF). Within three years of its founding, the CCCF organised a contest for its member associations.
Costa Rica were the defending champions after regaining the trophy in 1953.

Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated May 6, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q373093. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1955, 1938 and 1953.
Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
