    2025 CONCACAF Caribbean Cup

    The CONCACAF Caribbean Cup is an international association football competition organized by CONCACAF as its top regional tournament for clubs from the Caribbean. Beginning with the inaugural edition in 2023, the new competition serves as a qualification method for the CONCACAF Champions Cup.[1] It is the successor of the Caribbean Club Championship which ran from 1997 to 2022.[2]

    The top three clubs from the Caribbean Cup qualify for the Champions Cup, with the winner entering the round of 16 and second and third-place finishers entering in round one.[1]

    History

    In September 2021, CONCACAF announced that beginning in 2024, the CONCACAF Champions League would be expanded from 16 to 27 clubs. At that time, it was announced that clubs from the Caribbean sub-region would qualify via the new CONCACAF Caribbean Cup, but specific details were not revealed.[3] Further details were announced in June 2022.[4]

    Qualification

    Eight of the ten competing clubs will be the current title-holders and runners-up of the five leagues in the region which meet CONCACAF's professional licensing standards.[5] For the 2023–24 competition cycle, Haiti's berths have been re-allotted to the Dominican Republic and Jamaica.[6] For the 2025 edition, Suriname will have a berth to the tournament, while Haiti will be reduced to one berth.

    Jamaica Jamaica Jamaica Premier League Winner and runner-up

    Trinidad and Tobago Trinidad and Tobago TT Premier Football League Winner and runner-up

    Competition format

    The ten participating clubs are divided into two groups of five. The clubs play a round-robin style tournament within their group, two home and two away games. The top two clubs from each group play knockout rounds to determine final positions and, therefore, the round they enter the CONCACAF Champions Cup.[7]
