In the Caribbean Zone, 19 CFU member national teams entered the qualifying competition, consisting of two stages. Apart from Haiti, which received a bye as hosts of the final round, the remaining 18 teams entered the first round, and were drawn into three groups of four teams and two groups of three teams. The winners of each group advance to the final round to join Haiti, where they are divided into two groups of three teams, with the top three teams (the two group winners which play in the final, and the winners of the third place match played between the two group runners-up) qualifying for the final tournament as the CFU representatives.
The draw of the qualifying competition was held on 6 June 2017, 10:00 UTC−4, at the CONCACAF headquarters in Miami Beach, Florida.[2] Trinidad and Tobago, Puerto Rico, Saint Lucia, Guyana, and Saint Vincent and the Grenadines were automatically seeded in Groups A–E respectively as hosts of each first round group, while the remaining 14 teams were seeded based on the results of the previous two editions of the qualifying competition. Any of the top five-ranked teams (Haiti, Jamaica, Trinidad and Tobago, Puerto Rico, Bermuda) could not be drawn into the same group.
