The CFU Club Championship or CFU Club Champions' Cup is the Caribbean football championship. 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.
Thirty National Associations affiliated to the CFU are invited to participate with their National League or Cup Champion and Sub Champion, although many member nations do not send a representative team every year. The winner of this competition as well as the first and the second runners-up advance to the CONCACAF Champions League group stage.
The CFU presents an exact replica of the CFU Club Champions Cup trophy to the winning team for their permanent possession.
Since being founded in 1997 all championships have been won by clubs from Jamaica, Trinidad and Tobago and Puerto Rico (though, in seasons where no champion was crowned, clubs from other countries have been finalists). CFU previously allowed the Puerto Rican team Puerto Rico Islanders and Antigua Barracuda FC (both now defunct) to compete despite being members of the United States league system.
The following associations have never entered any teams to the CFU Club Championship:
1. Bonaire has had teams participate in the qualifying rounds of the tournament as members of NAVU, but have yet to enter a team since the dissolution of the Netherlands Antilles in 2010, and the foundation of their own independent football association.
