The 2009 CONCACAF U17 Championship was the football championship tournament for under-17 in the CONCACAF region (North America, Central America and the Caribbean), and was formatted to determine the four CONCACAF representatives to advance to the 2009 FIFA U-17 World Cup in Nigeria. The 8-team tournament was originally scheduled to be played from April 21 to May 2 and hosted by Mexico at the Estadio Caliente in Tijuana. However, the tournament was cancelled on April 27 due to the swine flu outbreak in Mexico.{{Citation|title=Remainder of U-17s canceled, Champions League decider postponed due to swine flu concern |url=http://www.concacaf.com/view_article.aspx?id=4730 |location=New York City |publisher=CONCACAF |date=2009-04-27 |access-date=2009-04-27 |url-status = dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090430101027/http://www.concacaf.com/view_article.aspx?id=4730 |archive-date=2009-04-30 }} At the time that the tournament was cancelled the group stage had already been played, and the four teams who could qualify to the U-17 World Cup{{Citation|title=Venues announced for 2009 CONCACAF Under-20, U-17 Championships |url=http://www.concacaf.com/view_article.aspx?id=4161 |publisher=CONCACAF |date=2008-04-28 |access-date=2008-11-12 |url-status = dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090508100805/http://www.concacaf.com/view_article.aspx?id=4161 |archive-date=2009-05-08 }}{{Citation|title=Mexico to host CONCACAF U-17 Championship, drawn with Costa Rica, Guatemala, Trinidad|url=http://www.concacaf.com/view_article.aspx?id=4592|publisher=CONCACAF|location=New York City|date=2009-01-15|access-date=2009-01-20|archive-date=2009-01-19|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090119225534/http://concacaf.com/view_article.aspx?id=4592|url-status=live}} – Costa Rica, Honduras, Mexico, and the United States – had already done so.
