The 2018 CONCACAF Women's U-20 Championship was the 9th edition of the CONCACAF Women's U-20 Championship, the biennial international youth football championship organised by CONCACAF for the women's under-20 national teams of the North, Central American and Caribbean region. The tournament was hosted by Trinidad and Tobago and took place between 18–28 January 2018, as announced by CONCACAF on 31 October 2017.[1] A total of eight teams played in the tournament.

The top three teams of the tournament qualified for the 2018 FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup in France as the CONCACAF representatives.[2] The tournament also determined which three Caribbean nations participate in the 2018 Central American and Caribbean Games.[3]

Mexico defeated defending champions United States in the final to win their first title.
