The 2016 CFU Club Championship was the 18th 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 2016–17 CONCACAF Champions League. Central were the defending champions, having won the 2015 CFU Club Championship, and successfully defended their title, defeating fellow Trinidadian side W Connection in the final for the second straight year.

  1. ^ Haiti (HAI): Haiti's 2015 Tournoi de Clôture was not completed until 3 January 2016, and thus only one champion was crowned in the 2015 calendar year. The runners-up of the Tournoi d'Ouverture (America des Cayes) were invited instead of the champions of the Tournoi de Clôture (FICA).

Preliminary round

In the preliminary round, the 14 teams were divided into two groups of four teams and two groups of three teams, consisting of two league champions and either one or two league runners-up.[1][2] Each group was played on a round-robin basis, hosted by one of the teams at a centralized venue. The winners of each group advanced to the final round.
