The 1984 CONCACAF Champions' Cup was the 20th edition of the CONCACAF Champions' Cup, the annual international club association football competition held in the CONCACAF region (North America, Central America and the Caribbean). It determined that year's club champion in the CONCACAF region and was played from 15 March to 21 October 1984.

The teams were split in two zones, North/Central America and Caribbean, (as North and Central America sections combined to qualify one team for the final), each one qualifying the winner to the final tournament. The final was scratched and Violette were declared champions and became CONCACAF champion for the first time in their history after CD Guadalajara and New York Pancyprian-Freedoms were disqualified for their failure to agree on match dates.[1] [2] The Pancyprian-Freedoms had planned to host their leg of the North/Central American final at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum in early December, but the dates conflicted with the league schedules for Guadalajara.[3]
