The tournament was played by 10 teams of 10 nations: Netherlands Antilles, Bermuda, El Salvador, United States, Guatemala, Haiti, Honduras, Jamaica, Nicaragua, Trinidad and Tobago. The tournament was played from 6 August 1967 till 24 March 1968.

The teams were split in 3 zones (North American, Central American and Caribbean), each one qualifying the winner to the final tournament, where the winners of the North and Central zones played a semi-final to decide who was going to play against the Caribbean champion in the final. All the matches in the tournament were played under the home/away match system.

Alianza from El Salvador won the final, and became CONCACAF champion for the first time.[1]
