Main article: 1969 CONCACAF Championship

A total of 12 CONCACAF teams entered the competition.  Costa Rica, as the hosts, and  Guatemala, as the defending champions, qualified automatically, leaving 4 spots open for competition. The 10 teams were divided into 5 groups of 2 in which one of them will advance to the final tournament.

According to different sources, only 9 teams entered the competition,[1] eventually reduced to 8 after Haiti renounced.[2] Later on, Haiti tried to join again but the late application was rejected.[3] Honduras, El Salvador and the USA[4] did not enter.
Costa Rica, Guatemala, Netherlands Antilles and Trinidad and Tobago qualified automatically. Play-offs were arranged for the remaining two spots.[5]
