The 2023 CONCACAF Caribbean Cup was the first edition of the CONCACAF Caribbean Cup, the first-tier annual international club football competition in the Caribbean region. It was contested by clubs whose football associations are affiliated with the Caribbean Football Union (CFU), a sub-confederation of CONCACAF.
The winners of the 2023 CONCACAF Caribbean Cup qualified to the 2024 CONCACAF Champions Cup Round of 16, and the second and third place teams qualified to Round One.
Teams
Ten teams from five CFU member associations qualified for the football tournament. Eight teams from three nations qualified based on results from their domestic leagues and the remaining two teams qualified from the 2023 CONCACAF Caribbean Shield.
Originally, Haiti had two berths reserved for its teams in the tournament. However, the CONCACAF Council decided that Haitian clubs were not able to qualify and participate in the tournament as their domestic league is inactive since May 2021 due to the ongoing Haitian crisis. As a result, the two Haitian berths were awarded one to Dominican Republic and one to Jamaica based on the performance of their clubs in the past five editions of the defunct Caribbean Club Championship.
The entry berths were as follows: CONCACAF Caribbean Shield: 2 berths (champions and runners-up) Dominican Republic and Jamaica: 3 Berths Trinidad and Tobago: 2 berths
