==History== Originally a final tournament with 8 teams was planned, with as participants: *Joe Public FC ({{TRI}}, holders) *Tivoli Gardens ({{JAM}}, 1999/2000 NPL Heroes' Cup winners) *Camdonia Chelsea FC ({{VIN}}, 1999 St.Vincent club champion) *Club Franciscain ({{MTQ}}, 1998/99 Ligue de Football de *Martinique champion) *Defence Force ({{TRI}}, 1999 PFL champion) *Notre Dame SC ({{BRB}}, 1999 Premier League champion) *W Connection ({{TRI}}, PFL sub-champion) *Violette AC ({{HAI}} - replace champions {{GLP}})

This was to be held October 28 – November 5, 2000.

However, in preparation of a 'dramatically enhanced' CONCACAF club competition, the set-up was changed completely; 4 groups with 14 teams in all were formed; the winners of which to progress to the final championship round. Of the above 8 teams, 3, viz. Chelsea, Notre Dame, and Defence Force, were suddenly not invited - on whatever criteria.
