# 2023 CONCACAF Caribbean Shield

The 2023 CONCACAF Caribbean Shield was the sixth edition of the CONCACAF Caribbean Shield, the second-tier annual international club football competition in the Caribbean region, held amongst clubs whose football associations are affiliated with the Caribbean Football Union (CFU), a sub-confederation of CONCACAF.
Bayamón, having won the title in 2022, were the title holders, but did not qualify since they lost in the 2022 Liga Puerto Rico Apertura semifinals against Puerto Rico Sol.
Robinhood won their second title, defeating Golden Lion in the final. Both finalists qualified to the 2023 CONCACAF Caribbean Cup.

* ^ Trinidad and Tobago (TRI): 2023 TT Premier Football League ends on June 17, 2023. Since CONCACAF announced Trinidadian teams will be confirmed on May 28, the third placed team as June 2, 2023 is qualified to the competition.

## Group stage

In the group stage, each group is played on a round-robin basis with teams playing against each other once, for a total of three matches per team.
After single round-robin play, the group winners (four teams in total) will advance to the Semifinals.
The Semifinal winners (two clubs) will dispute the tournament’s final and secure a berth in the 2023 CONCACAF Caribbean Cup, which will serve as an opportunity to qualify for the 2024 CONCACAF Champions Cup.
