The 2019 Caribbean Club Shield was the second edition of the Caribbean Club Shield (also known as the CFU Club 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. The tournament was played in Curaçao between 5–15 April 2019.

The winners of the 2019 CONCACAF Caribbean Club Shield, as long as they fulfill the CONCACAF Regional Club Licensing criteria, would play against the fourth place team of the 2019 CONCACAF Caribbean Club Championship in a playoff match to determine the final Caribbean spot to the 2019 CONCACAF League.[1]

Robinhood defeated title holders Club Franciscain in the final to win their first CONCACAF Caribbean Club Shield, and later defeated Real Hope in a playoff to qualify for the CONCACAF League.

Teams

Among the 31 CFU member associations, 27 of them were classified as non-professional leagues and each may enter one team in the CONCACAF Caribbean Club Shield. A total of 13 teams (from 13 associations) entered the 2019 CONCACAF Caribbean Club Shield.[2]
