- W Connection (Trinidad and Tobago, PFL sub-champion)
- Violette AC (Haiti - replace champions Guadeloupe)
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.
