mapa členských států CFU

Karibská fotbalová unie (anglicky Caribbean Football Union), známá též pod zkratkou CFU, je fotbalová asociace, která sdružuje národní fotbalové svazy všech nezávislých států a většiny závislých území v Karibiku. Zároveň sem spadají i fotbalové svazy Surinamu, Guyany a Francouzské Guyany, které leží na jihoamerickém kontinentu a Bermud, které z geografického hlediska patří do Severní Ameriky. CFU pořádala do roku 2017 Karibský pohár, který sloužil jako kvalifikace 4 nejlepších týmů na Zlatý pohár CONCACAF. CFU je společně se Středoamerickou fotbalovou unií a Severoamerickou fotbalovou unií součástí CONCACAFu (fotbalové asociace Severní Ameriky, Střední Ameriky a Karibiku).
