The 2016 CONCACAF Women's U-17 Championship will be the 5th edition of the CONCACAF Women's U-17 Championship, the biennial international youth football tournament organised by CONCACAF for the women's under-17 national teams of the North, Central American and Caribbean region. The tournament will be hosted by Grenada and take place between 3–13 March 2016, as announced by CONCACAF on 15 May 2015.[1]

A total of eight teams will play in the tournament: three teams from the North American Zone (NAFU) (Canada, Mexico and the United States, who all qualified directly), two teams from the Central American Zone (UNCAF), and three teams from the Caribbean Zone (CFU) (including Grenada who qualified automatically as hosts).[1]

Same as previous editions, the tournament acts as the CONCACAF qualifiers for the FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup. The top three teams of the tournament will qualify for the 2016 FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup in Jordan.[2]
