The teams were split in 2 zones (North/Central and Caribbean), each one qualifying two teams to the final tournament. All qualifying matches were played under the home/away match system, while the final was played in California. Both zones were also split into 2 groups, so one team of each qualified to the finals.

Unlike previous editions, the final was a single match played in Los Angeles (neutral venue), where Mexican Club América beat Costa Rican Liga Deportiva Alajuelense 1–0,[2] therefore winning their four CONCACAF trophy.[3][4] The Vancouver 86ers became the first Canadian team to qualify for the tournament, but ultimately withdrew before the first round.[5]
