The competition was announced by the CFU in March 2018.[1] It is the third women's competition organized by the CFU, after the 2000 CFU Women's Caribbean Cup and the 2014 CFU Women's Caribbean Cup.[2] It is played in April 2018 across five venues, and serves as preparation for the CONCACAF Championship and World Cup qualifiers starting in May. Unlike the two previous CFU Women's Caribbean Cup tournaments, there is no final round and thus no overall champion.
