league season either as champion or runners-up. Both teams enter the competition in the first round, which comprises a single round-robin with each group winner advancing to the final round. Since the inception of the CFU Club Championship, the winner of the competition has qualified for the CONCACAF Champions' Cup. However, with the formation and restructure of the Champions' Cup into the Champions League in 2008–09, the Caribbean gained two qualification places.
