Caribbean Tour Matches 1925-1969



During the early years of football in the Caribbean, tournaments, tours and
test series were played to forge competition within the region. Many of these,
by the nature of the times, were inter-colonial. Whilst this list is by no way
complete in detail, it does give an outline to the matches played and teams
involved where possible.
Any additions or corrections would be welcomed.
Included are "series" or "test" matches as some were played as part of a 
tournament and others it is currently unknown. Also these were referred to as
"Goodwill" tours.
In determining the winners of a series of matches, most reports refer to results
as being relevant ie wins/draws but do not use an form of goal difference as a
determining factor. Some games may not fit into the criteria but are listed for
reference

NB: Dutch Antilles were handed the cup on 4 March prior to their match vs Jamaica;
    some sources report a second match between Dutch Antilles and Haiti on 25/02
    but that is incorrect; apparently, it is also not correct that any of these 
    matches served as qualification for the first Concacaf Nations Cup 1963 (in
    which the Dutch Antilles and Jamaica participated but Haiti did not).
