The 2020 CONCACAF Women's U-20 Championship was the 10th edition of the CONCACAF Women's U-20 Championship, the biennial international youth football championship organized by CONCACAF for the women's under-20 national teams of the North, Central American and Caribbean region. The tournament was held in the Dominican Republic between 22 February and 8 March 2020.[1]
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.[2] The U-20 Women's World Cup was initially to be co-hosted with Panama,[3] but they backed out from co-hosting due to COVID-19 concerns, due to having the highest cases and deaths in the region.[4] 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.[5]
The United States won the sixth titles, after defeated Mexico 4–1 in the final.

Qualified teams
Summarize
Perspective
The qualifying format has changed since the 2018 edition, and the teams are no longer divided into regional zones.
The 41 CONCACAF teams were ranked based on the CONCACAF Women's Under-20 Ranking as of 2018.[6] A total of 26 teams entered the tournament. The highest-ranked 16 entrants were exempt from qualifying and advanced directly to the group stage of the final tournament, while the lowest-ranked 10 entrants had to participate in the qualifying stage, where the four group winners and runners-up advanced to the round of 16 of the knockout stage of the final tournament.[7]
On 13 January 2020, CONCACAF announced that Costa Rica and Panama, who had automatically qualified for the 2021 FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup as hosts, would no longer participate in the 2020 CONCACAF Women's U-20 Championship. As a result, the following changes to the tournament were made:[8]
- Guyana (Qualifying Group A winner) and Saint Kitts and Nevis (Qualifying Group B winner), enter the group stage instead of the round of 16.
- Bermuda (Qualifying Group A third place) and Barbados (Qualifying Group B third place) enter the round of 16.

Draw
The draw for the group stage took place on 19 April 2019, 11:00 EDT (UTC−4), at the CONCACAF Headquarters in Miami.

Following the exclusion of Costa Rica and Panama from the tournament, their vacated positions in the group stage were replaced by Guyana and Saint Kitts and Nevis respectively. Furthermore, the vacated positions in the round of 16 of Guyana and Saint Kitts and Nevis were replaced by Bermuda and Barbados respectively.[8]
