The winners of the 2022 CONCACAF Caribbean Club Shield, as long as they fulfill the CONCACAF Regional Club Licensing criteria, play against the fourth place team of the 2022 CONCACAF Caribbean Club Championship in a playoff match to determine the final Caribbean spot to the 2022 CONCACAF League.[1]

Robinhood, having won the title in 2019, were the title holders, since the 2020 and 2021 editions were cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the titles were not awarded.[2][3]

In the final, Bayamon FC defeated Inter Moengotapoe, 2–1, after extra-time with a game-winning goal scored by Jordi Ranera in the 121st minute, to win their first title.
