Havana, Cuba | champion-flagvar = 1934 | second-flagvar = 1902 | third-flagvar = 1912 The 1947 NAFC Championship was the first association football championship for the North American Football Confederation (NAFC).

The first tournament came soon after the founding of the NAFC. Cuba hosted the tournament which included the host national team, Mexico and the United States. Cuba and Mexico sent their national teams, but rather than forming a team for the competition, the United States Football Soccer Federation chose to send Ponta Delgada S.C., an amateur team from Fall River, Massachusetts. Ponta Delgada had won both the National Challenge Cup and National Amateur Cup, but was unable to compete with Mexico and Cuba. Mexico easily handled both the U.S. and Cuba, defeating the first 5–0 and the second 3–1. Cuba took second place with a 5–2 victory over the United States. All matches were held at La Tropical Stadium.
