This article is a record of South Korea's results at the CONCACAF Gold Cup. The CONCACAF Gold Cup is North America's major tournament, but nations from other confederations could enter the Gold Cup as invitees in select editions.
South Korea participated in the 2000 and 2002 tournament to prepare for the 2002 FIFA World Cup hosted by them. They and Qatar are the only Asian teams to ever participate in the North American continental championships. In seven matches, South Korea failed to win a single one in regular time, but won fourth place in 2002 after advancing to the knockout stage with only one point to their name and defeating Mexico on penalties in the quarter-finals. Two years prior, they were eliminated after the group stage per coin toss. Canada advanced instead and eventually won the 2000 edition.
Lee Young-pyo played in all of South Korea's CONCACAF Gold Cup matches in both 2000 and 2002.Kim Nam-il was selected for the CONCACAF Gold Cup Best XI in 2002.
Lee Young-pyo is the only player who was fielded in all seven of South Korea's Gold Cup matches. In 2002, Song Chong-gug was the only player to play through the entirety of Korea's fourth-place-run. In the same year, Kim Nam-il was voted into the tournament's Best XI, becoming the first and only Asian player to be honoured at a North American continental championship.
