Thirteen teams, eight from the Caribbean and five from Central America, competed to join automatic qualifiers Canada, Mexico and the United States in the eight-team final tournament.

Caribbean qualification took place as two groups of four teams that competed from June 29 to July 9. Cuba and Haiti qualified from group A with seven points each, and were joined by the Dominican Republic from group B who won their group with nine points.

UNCAF's two slots were determined by a five-team group that competed from September 30 to October 8. Costa Rica won the group without dropping any points, and were joined by Guatemala who only lost to Costa Rica.[3]
