## Draw

The draw for the group stage took place on 11 June 2021, 11:00 EDT (UTC−4), at the CONCACAF Headquarters in Miami. The 16 teams which initially entered qualifying were drawn into four groups of four teams. After six teams withdrew due to COVID-19 restrictions after the draw, the format was changed into two groups of three and one group of four. Based on the CONCACAF Women's Under-17 Ranking, the initial 16 teams were distributed into four pots, as follows:
| Pot 1 | Pot 2 | Pot 3 | Pot 4 |
| Honduras  Barbados  Antigua and Barbuda (W)  Saint Kitts and Nevis | Saint Lucia (W)  Curaçao  Dominica (W)  Cayman Islands (W) | U.S. Virgin Islands  Anguilla  Guyana  Belize | Suriname  Saint Vincent and the Grenadines (W)  Guadeloupe (W)  Turks and Caicos Islands |
* (W): Withdrew after draw

the withdrawal of 3 of the 4 teams from the group before starting qualifications. Guyana, originally in Group D, took a place in Group C.
