It is an annual international football competition held amongst association football clubs from the Caribbean for clubs that are members of the Caribbean Football Union (CFU). The CFU Club Champions’ Cup serves as a qualifying event for the CONCACAF Champions League Tournament.

Qualification
Thirty-one national associations affiliated with the CFU are invited to participate, with each eligible to send two clubs, usually their league champions and runners-up. However, many member nations do not send a representative team every year. CFU has also allowed Antigua Barracuda, Puerto Rico Islanders (both now defunct), and Puerto Rico FC to compete despite being members of the United States league system. This tournament currently sends four teams to CONCACAF competitions: the champions enter the CONCACAF Champions League while the runners-up, third, and fourth place teams enter the CONCACAF League, which serves as a qualifying play-off for the Champions League.
The CFU presents an exact replica of the CFU Club Champions Cup trophy to the winning team for their permanent possession.
