[edit] Qualification

Qualification to the CONCACAF tournament was held in separate regions. The Caribbean teams qualified through the 2006 U20 Caribbean Cup and the Central American sides qualified through the 2006 U-20 UNCAF Cup. Mexico and the United States automatically qualified to this tournament, and Canada was not required to participate due to their status as hosts of the U-20 World Cup.
