The 1961 Campeonato Centroamericano was the second edition of the first attempt at an international tournament for the CONCACAF region. All teams participating were champions of their respective leagues.[1] The tournament comprised Central American and Caribbean clubs, with four from Central America and one from the Caribbean. Unlike the 1959 edition, the 1961 edition did not involve North American clubs; instead, the Central American champion from the four-team playoff would face off against the Caribbean club.
