The 2017 CONCACAF Gold Cup qualification (CFU–UNCAF play-off) was a home-and-away two-legged qualification play-off that took place in March 2017 to determine the final team that would participate in the 2017 CONCACAF Gold Cup. It was the second edition of the competition.
The Caribbean Football Union (CFU) representative, Haiti, met the Central American Football Union (UNCAF) representative, Nicaragua, in the play-off.
The matches took place on March 24 and 28, 2017, as it was the only international window on the FIFA International Match Calendar that occurred after the 2017 Copa Centroamericana and 2016 Caribbean Cup Fifth place playoff had finished and before the 2017 CONCACAF Gold Cup was scheduled to begin. CONCACAF conducted a draw to determine the order of matches, at the CONCACAF Headquarters in Miami Beach, Florida, on February 3, 2017, 12:00 EST (UTC−5).
Nicaragua overcame a 3–1 first leg deficit to defeat Haiti 3–0 in the second leg and win the play-off 4–3 on aggregate, qualifying for their second appearance in the Gold Cup and their first since 2009.
If tied on aggregate, away goals were the first tie-breaker.
