The first round, a group stage, was a competition between the 6 teams divided among two groups of three, where each group engaged in a round-robin tournament within itself. The two highest ranked teams in each group advanced to the knockout stage for the position one to four, the lower ranked team had the position 5. Teams were awarded two points for a win and one for a draw. When comparing teams in a group over-all result came before head-to-head.

In the knockout stage there were two rounds (semi-finals and the final). The winners plays for the finals, the losers for third place. For any match in the knockout stage, a draw after 60 minutes of regulation time was followed by two 10 minute periods of extra time to determine a winner. If the teams were still tied, a penalty shoot-out was held to determine a winner.
