The following three teams from CONCACAF qualified for the 2019 FIFA Women's World Cup. Panama failed to qualify losing out the play-off to 2018 Copa América Femenina third-placed team, Argentina.

:

The tournament was used to determine the four teams from CONCACAF which would qualify for the 2019 Pan American Games women's football tournament. The top team from each of the three zones, i.e., Caribbean (CFU), Central American (UNCAF), and North American (NAFU), would qualify, with the fourth team to be determined by CONCACAF at a later date. However, both United States and Canada declined to participate to focus on the 2019 FIFA Women's World Cup, so Mexico qualified for the North American berth.{{cite web|title=Selección Femenina de fútbol estará en los Panamericanos 2019 pese a no haber clasificado|url=https://www.nacion.com/puro-deporte/seleccion-nacional/seleccion-femenina-de-futbol-estara-en-los/GIFCSFFYJNCRHO23B3WNRMULFM/story/|publisher=La Nación|date=February 25, 2019|language=es}}
