The teams were split into 3 zones (North American, Central American and Caribbean), each one qualifying the winner to the final tournament, where the winners of the North American and Central American zones played a semi-final to decide who was going to play against the Caribbean champion in the final.

As the final part of the tournament was cancelled due to administrative problems, three teams, Comunicaciones (Guatemala) Defence Force (Trinidad and Tobago) and Leones Negros de Guadalajara (Mexico) were crowned champions by CONCACAF.[1]
