Format

On 10 December 2020, the CONCACAF Council approved the structure and calendar of the competition. The qualification competition, known as the "Road to Concacaf W Gold Cup", will begin with the group stage, featuring 33 women's national teams of CONCACAF split into three leagues (A, B and C). Each league will feature three groups, containing three teams each in League A, and four teams each in Leagues B and C. The teams in each group will play against each other home-and-away in a double round-robin format. The top three teams in League A will qualify directly for the W Gold Cup. The three group runners-up of League A and the three League B group winners will participate in a play-in in April 2024 to compete for the final three spots at the W Gold Cup. The two CONCACAF women's national teams that qualify for the Summer Olympics in 2024 will not participate in the group stage, and will receive a bye directly to the W Gold Cup.[2]

Teams

In total, 33 of the 41 CONCACAF member associations will enter the qualification competition, not including the two CONCACAF teams that qualify for the Summer Olympics. The teams will be split into three leagues based on the CONCACAF women's ranking as follows:

  • League A: Top 9 ranked teams, divided into three groups of three teams
  • League B: Next 12 best-ranked teams, divided into three groups of four teams
  • League C: Lowest 12 ranked teams, divided into three groups of four teams
