The 18th Central American and Caribbean Junior Championships were held in the Estadio Olímpico Félix Sánchez in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, between 2–4 July 2011, and organized by the Federación Dominicana de Asociaciones de Atletismo (FDAA). The event was open for athletes from the invited countries, that are members of the Central American and Caribbean Athletic Confederation (CACAC), in two categories: Junior A Category: 17 to 19 years as of 31 December 2010 (Born between 1991 and 1993), and Junior B Category: 14 to 16 years as of 31 December 2010 (Born between 1994 and 1996). By IAAF standards, Junior A is equal to Junior, while Junior B is equal to Youth.

The team from Jamaica dominated the games gaining a total of 63 medals (25 gold, 20 silver, 18 bronze), more than twice as much as the next team, Mexico with 28 medals. Moreover, Jamaica won the team trophies in all categories leading the corresponding point classifications.
