The 1998 CONCACAF Women's Championship determined CONCACAF's qualifiers for the FIFA Women's World Cup 1999, with Canada winning. Canada scored 42 goals and did not concede even a single goal. The runner-up, Mexico, qualified in two playoff-matches against Argentina. The tournament took place between July 19 & December 19, 1998.
This event was the fourth and final staging of CONCACAF's Women's Championship under that name. It would be renamed the CONCACAF Women's Gold Cup in 2000.
This was the only edition of CONCACAF's Women's Championship or the CONCACAF Women's Gold Cup in which the traditional superpower of CONCACAF women's football (soccer), the USA, did not participate. The US team directly qualified for the 1999 Women's World Cup as hosts of the event.

Famous quotes containing the word women:
“The world is full of women blindsided by the unceasing demands of motherhood, still flabbergasted by how a job can be terrific and torturous, involving and utterly tedious, all at the same time. The world is full of women made to feel strange because what everyone assumes comes naturally is so difficult to do—never mind to do well.”
—Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)
