North America's governing body for football, CONCACAF, organize the championship,[2] with cooperation from Beach Soccer Worldwide (BSWW).

[3] The winners of the championship are crowned continental champions;[4] the tournament also acts as the qualification route for North American nations to the upcoming edition of the FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup[1] and is therefore also known as the FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup CONCACAF qualifier.

The championship was established in 2006 after FIFA made it a requirement for all confederations to begin holding qualification tournaments to determine the best national team(s) in their region and hence those who would proceed to represent their continent in the upcoming World Cup (previously, nations were simply invited to play without having to earn their place).

For all tournaments, the top two teams qualified for the FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup.

The following is a performance timeline of the CONCACAF teams who have gone on to appear in the World Cup, having successfully qualified from the above events.
