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 2021 CONCACAF Champions League. The second and third place teams of Tier 1 will qualify to the 2020 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 2020 CONCACAF League.[1]
