The 2015 CFU Club Championship was the 17th edition of CFU Club Championship, the annual international club football competition in the Caribbean region, held amongst clubs whose football associations are affiliated with the Caribbean Football Union (CFU). The top three teams in the tournament qualified for the 2015–16 CONCACAF Champions League.
Central won the tournament by defeating fellow Trinidadian side W Connection in the final. Both teams qualified for the Champions League, along with Montego Bay United of Jamaica, who defeated Haitian side Don Bosco in the third place game.
The first round was held in April 2015 at sites in Haiti, Guyana, and Trinidad and Tobago. The final round was played in May 2015 in Trinidad and Tobago.
Teams
[edit]The tournament was open to all league champions and runners-up from each of the 31 CFU member associations (or cup winners if the league was not played), once their competition ended on or before the end of 2014.
A total of 15 teams from 9 CFU associations entered the competition, as they met the registration and fee payment deadline of January 7, 2015.[1] This is the first CFU Club Championship to feature a team from the Bahamas, with Lyford Cay Dragons as their entrant.
There are no defending champions as no final was played in 2014.
