All five nations play each other in a round robin format with the group winner alone advancing to the 2020 Concacaf Women’s Gold Cup tournament, which serves as a qualifying series for the Olympic Games.
Only Trinidad and Tobago women’s footballers have a chance to compete in the Olympic qualifying campaign after the Trinidad and Tobago Football Association (TTFA) opted not to send an under-23 men’s team—despite an offer of financial support from the Ministry of Sport.
