It determined that year's club champion of association football in the CONCACAF region and was played from March 9, 1996, through July 20, 1997.
The teams were split into 2 zones (North/ Central and Caribbean). The North/Central zone was split into 3 groups, qualifying each winner to the final tournament. The winner of the Caribbean zone, earned a place in a playoff against the U.S. representative for a spot in the final tournament.
