Ligue des Antilles
Ligue des Antilles (or Antillean League) is a football cup tournament contested by teams from Guadeloupe, Martinique, French Guiana, and Saint-Martin.
Format
The tournament in its modern form was started in 2004, solely between select teams from Guadeloupe and Martinique. The first round was competed as a group stage; two groups of four teams compete for the two spots in the final. In 2008, the rounds prior to the final were changed to knockout rounds, and in the year after were regionalized, ensuring a team from each both regions in the final.
Beginning in the 2018 edition, clubs from French Guiana began participating. The interregional portion of the competition expanded to four clubs; the three regions began rotating hosting rights, with the host getting two of the four spots. Additionally, a club from Saint-Martin was granted place in the tournament beginning in the 2021–22 edition, playing a play-in match with the host regions second qualifier, with the winner advancing to the semi-finals.
