  1. ^ Haiti (HAI): Haiti's 2015 Tournoi de Clôture was not completed until 3 January 2016, and thus only one champion was crowned in the 2015 calendar year. The runners-up of the Tournoi d'Ouverture (America des Cayes) were invited instead of the champions of the Tournoi de Clôture (FICA).

Preliminary round

In the preliminary round, the 14 teams were divided into two groups of four teams and two groups of three teams, consisting of two league champions and either one or two league runners-up.[1][2] Each group was played on a round-robin basis, hosted by one of the teams at a centralized venue. The winners of each group advanced to the final round.
