The event was hosted by Costa Rica in the city of San José. Seven teams qualified, but Haiti's disqualification[1] left six teams to play in the round-robin format to determine the winner. The tournament was won by the host nation, for the second time after 1963, by tying defending champions Guatemala 1–1 in the deciding final match.
