Each league will feature three groups, containing three teams each in League A, and four teams each in Leagues B and C. The teams in each group will play against each other home-and-away in a
round-robin format. The top three teams in League A will qualify directly for the W Gold Cup. The group runners-up of League A and the League B group winners will participate in a play-in in April 2024 to compete for the final three spots at the W Gold Cup.

The final tournament will be held from 20 February to 10 March 2024. Originally, CONCACAF announced the tournament would be played in June 2024, the month prior to the start of the
2024 Olympic women's football tournament,
but on 8 March 2023 announced it would be moved earlier to February and March.
The W Gold Cup will feature twelve teams, including the two teams that qualified for the Summer Olympics, the six teams that qualified from the group stage and play-in, and four guest national teams. The twelve teams will be split into three groups of four, and will compete in a single round-robin. Eight teams, the top two teams of each group and the two-best third-placed teams, will advance to the knockout stage. The knockout stage will consist of quarter-finals, semi-finals and a final to determine the champion.
