The 2019 Caribbean Club Championship will be the 21st edition of Caribbean Club Championship (also known as the CFU Club Championship), the annual international club football competition in the Caribbean region, held amongst clubs whose football associations are affiliated with the Caribbean Football Union (CFU), a sub-confederation of CONCACAF.
The CONCACAF Council, at its meeting on 25 July 2017 in San Francisco, California approved the implementation of the following two-tier competitions for affiliated clubs of Caribbean Member Associations starting in 2018:
- The Tier 1 competition, known as the CONCACAF Caribbean Club Championship, is contested by the champions and runners-up of the top professional and semi-professional leagues in year 1 (2018), and open to only fully professional leagues in year 2 (2019) and onwards.
- The Tier 2 competition, known as the CONCACAF Caribbean Club Shield, is contested by the champions of the top leagues in Member Associations that have no professional or semi-professional leagues in year 1 (2018), and open to amateur and semi-professional leagues in year 2 (2019) and onwards.
The winners of Tier 1 will qualify to the 2020 CONCACAF Champions League. The second and third place teams of Tier 1 will qualify to the 2019 CONCACAF League. The fourth place team of Tier 1 will play against the winners of Tier 2 in a play-off match to determine the final Caribbean spot to the 2019 CONCACAF League.[1]
