In the Ladies Division only Trinidad and Tobago, Canada and St. Lucia are able to field two teams so 13 countries will participate in the 16 pool event.

USA, Canada, Mexico, Dominican Republic, Trinidad and Tobago, St. Vincent and the Grenadines, Antigua and Barbuda, Grenada, USVI, French St. Martin, Anguilla, Dominica, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Nicaragua, El Salvador, Barbados and St. Lucia are all registered to compete in one or both divisions.
