The 2017 Caribbean Cup will be the 19th edition of the Caribbean Cup, the biennial international men's football championship of the Caribbean region organized by the Caribbean Football Union (CFU).

Contents

The top four teams will qualify for the 2017 CONCACAF Gold Cup, while the fifth-placed team will advance to a play-off against the fifth-placed team from the 2017 Copa Centroamericana for the final Gold Cup berth.

The host for the final round was expected to be announced in January 2016.

Martinique was announced as host on 25 January 2017, winning over bids of Curaçao and French Guiana. The draw for the semi-finals was also conducted on the same day at the CFU office in St. John's, Antigua and Barbuda.

Qualified teams

Four teams qualified for the final tournament. All four teams also qualified for the 2017 CONCACAF Gold Cup.

Bold indicates that the corresponding team was hosting or co-hosting the event.
1. This is Curaçao's second appearance since the dissolution of the Netherlands Antilles, as its direct successor (with regards to membership in football associations), inheriting the former nation's FIFA membership and competitive record.
2. French Guiana and Martinique are not FIFA members, and so do not have a FIFA Ranking.

Venues

The matches are played at Stade Pierre-Aliker, Fort-de-France.

Knockout stage

If tied after 90 minutes, extra time is played, and if still tied after extra time, penalty shoot-out is used to determine the winner.
