Competition format
There was no tournament in 2008 because, prior to this edition, the CFU Club Championship had been held near the end of the calendar year, but in 2008 it was decided that it would be held near the beginning of the following calendar year in order to have the competition take place closer to the next CONCACAF Champions League, which uses this tournament as the Caribbean zone qualifying tournament. As a result, this, the next tournament, was held in early 2009.
The draw for the first round was held at the CONCACAF office in New York City on January 15. The first round matches were originally scheduled to be held over two legs on March 18 and 25. The draw for round two was completed immediately following the first round draw. The second round will also be two-legged and will be held in mid-April. The semi-finals, final and third-place match will be single-elimination matches hosted in Trinidad and Tobago. The semi-finals will be played on May 15, and the final and third-place match will be played two days later at the same venue.
Draw
The first round was played among clubs from two pots. Each club was drawn against another club from the opposing pot.

2nd round
San Juan Jabloteh were seeded and received a bye to the 2nd round.

In Jabloteh's return leg to Suriname they were without head coach Terry Fenwick, who did not travel with the team because he had not been paid by the club since the end of the 2008 TT Pro League season.
