The W Champions Cup is an annual competition that includes the Confederation's best clubs to crown a regional women’s club champion. The tournament is also the sole path for clubs in the Concacaf region to qualify for the new FIFA Women’s Champions Cup and FIFA Women’s Club World Cup.

The Group Stage saw 10 clubs – three from NWSL (USA), three from Liga MX Femenil (Mexico), and one from each of the domestic leagues of Canada, Costa Rica, El Salvador, and Panama – divided into two groups of five clubs each, with each club playing every club in their group once. The five-week Group Stage took place from late August to mid-October. 

Some of the top moments from the Group Stage included Rose Kouassi becoming the first player in tournament history to score a hat-trick on her debut, Nina Nicosia becoming the youngest Mexican club player to score a brace in tournament history, and Marta Silva debuting with a free-kick goal.
