The final tournament is expanded from eight to 20 teams, using the same format as the 2019 CONCACAF U-17 Championship. The top two teams of the tournament would have qualified for the 2021 FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup (originally 2020 but postponed due to COVID-19 pandemic) in Costa Rica as the CONCACAF representatives, along with Costa Rica who would have automatically qualified as hosts. The U-20 Women's World Cup was initially to be co-hosted with Panama, but they backed out from co-hosting due to COVID-19 concerns, due to having the highest cases and deaths in the region. The fourth CONCACAF team to qualify, which would have initially been Panama, was not confirmed. However, FIFA announced on 17 November 2020 that this edition of the World Cup would be cancelled.
Mexico were the defending champions but was defeated by United States in the final.
