The Jamaica national football team, or The Reggae Boyz, is the national team of Jamaica and is controlled by the Jamaica Football Federation. After decades in CONCACAF obscurity, they gained many fans throughout the world after they qualified for the 1998 FIFA World Cup. Jamaica have won the Caribbean Cup three times: in 1991, 1998, and 2005, finished second twice and have come third twice.

Recently the squad has struggled, leading some Jamaicans to dub them The Reggae Toyz. The team did not make it past the first stage of 2007 Caribbean Cup qualifying despite hosting the round, meaning Jamaica would not be in the Gold Cup. They also finished last place in the 2008 Olympic Qualification, losing to the Bahamas 0-1 and Haiti 1-2.
