For the first time, the competition and its qualifying stages were scheduled to take place during officially sanctioned FIFA international match periods.

Horace Burrell, the Jamaican Football Federation President stated that the change would "ensure the tournament has star power".〔 The top four teams would qualify for the 2015 CONCACAF Gold Cup automatically while the fifth place team would advance to a play-off against the fifth place team from the 2014 Copa Centroamericana tournament.〔 This is the first time that the two overall fifth-placed teams compete to qualify for the CONCACAF Gold Cup, previously five teams from Central America and four from the Caribbean have qualified for the Confederation's competition.
