Ten teams participated in the competition – the six regular teams of West Indian domestic cricket (Barbados, Guyana, Jamaica, the Leeward Islands, Trinidad and Tobago, and the Windward Islands), two development teams (Combined Campuses and Colleges and ICC Americas), the West Indies under-19 cricket team and the English side Kent County Cricket Club.
Kent accepted an invitation from the WICB to play in the tournament, the first time that any English county side had competed in an overseas domestic tournament. The invitation was partly due to the influence of former West Indian captain Jimmy Adams who, until September 2016, had been Head Coach of the county.
Following the conclusion of the group stage, Trinidad & Tobago and the Leeward Islands progressed to the semi-finals from Group A, while Barbados and Jamaica progressed from Group B. In the first semi-final, Jamaica beat Trinidad & Tobago by 292 runs, after they made 434 for 4, the highest total in the history of the Regional Super50. In the second semi-final, Barbados beat the Leeward Islands by 110 runs, to make their second successive appearance in the final of the Regional Super50. Barbados won the final, beating Jamaica by 59 runs.
