The 2014 Central American and Caribbean Games football tournament is scheduled to be the 20th edition of the competition at the 21st edition of the Central American and Caribbean Games. It will be the first CAC Games football competition to take since 2006 due to the cancellation of the 2010 edition.

Although the competition is considered to be an under-21 age group competition, up to three players born before 1 January 1993 may be named in the squad.[2] Each participating national football association will select a final squad of 20 players.[2]

The women's tournament was won by Mexico over Colombia.

The men's tournament was won by Mexico as well, over Venezuela. This is the 6th gold medal in this competition for the Mexican side. The last time they accomplished the gold medal was over 20 years ago.[3]
