It is the women's counterpart of the CONCACAF Champions Cup.
History
[edit]On 12 March 2024, CONCACAF announced the competition, which began in August 2024.[2] The inaugural tournament was contested by clubs from seven nations: Canada, El Salvador, Costa Rica, Jamaica, Panama, Mexico, and the United States. It is scheduled to end with a knockout stage in May 2025.[3]
The second edition of the competition is scheduled to begin in the second half of 2025.[4]
Competition format
[edit]The tournament consists of three stages. A preliminary round is contested by two clubs, where the winner advances to the group stage, joining nine other clubs. The group stage consists of two groups of five clubs. Each club plays four matches, two at home and two away. The top two teams in each group advance to the knockout stage, which is played in May of the following year, in a centralized location.[2]
