The quake struck to the west of Havana, and while there was no tsunami threat, the tremors were felt as far north as Tampa and Orlando.
The incident briefly disrupted normal life in Miami, where Steve Clarke’s side will take on Brazil on June 24 at Hard Rock Stadium in a high-profile World Cup group stage match.
A spokesman for the City of Miami said: “At this time, no significant injuries or major property damage have been reported, and all calls have been handled without further issue.”
They said they were aware of the offshore earthquake and can confirmed that seismic activity was felt in several neighbourhoods, resulting in several calls to emergency services.
Miami Fire-Rescue crews were dispatched to investigate each report.
The Tartan Army, already making travel plans and journeying through U.S. hubs ahead of the tournament, will be reassured by the calm response.
Fixtures for Group B will see Scotland play matches in both Boston and Miami, with the Brazil clash in Miami Gardens.
For many supporters, the trip will be an opportunity to combine football with Florida’s other attractions.
Orlando remains one of the world’s best-known tourist destinations, offering major theme parks, beaches, and a variety of family-friendly activities just a few hours’ drive from Miami.
Direct flights from the UK and package deals have long made Orlando a favourite long-haul destination for Scottish travellers alike.
With Steve Clarke’s team preparing to take on Brazil and challenge some of the world’s best sides, expectations are growing that Scotland could deliver their own seismic moment on football’s biggest stage.
The Miami match promises to be a highlight of the tournament, with the Tartan Army hoping to shake up more than just the stands.
