Over the years, the tournament has been named after its respective sponsors.
Shell had sponsored the competition since its inception in 1989. By February 1996,
Jack Warner had announced a new sponsorship from sports apparel company
Umbro for the
1996 Caribbean Cup. The tournament was also co-sponsored by Umbro in 1997 before Shell re-attained sole-sponsorship for the 1998 event. In October 1998, during the first and only year of sponsorship from the Asia Sport Group (now
World Sport Group), the competition changed its name to Copa Caribe. CFU's chairman Jack Warner stated that the change was made to highlight the competition being a branch of the
Copa de Oro. Florida-based Inter/Forever (now
Traffic Group) agreed a sponsorship deal to replace the Asia Sport Group agreement in January 1999. The competition retained the title Copa Caribe for the 1999 and 2001 editions. There was no competition held in 2003, instead teams focused on a group-stage only
qualifying tournament. Caribbean-based mobile phone company
Digicel took over the sponsorship in 2004, in June 2007 they agreed to sponsor the 2008 and 2010 events. The 2012 and 2014 editions of the competition had no title sponsor, while the last tournament (in 2017) was sponsored by
Scotiabank. ==Results==
