text: # Sint Maartener football clubs in international competitions
  
  This is a list of Sint Maartener football clubs in international competitions. Sint Maartener clubs have participated in international club competitions since at least 1956, when there was the Bonaire–Sint Maarten series. Sint Maartener clubs have participated in competitive CONCACAF football competitions since at least 2017 when Flames United entered the 2017 CFU Club Championship. To date this is the only time a Sint Maartener team has participated in a CONCACAF competition.
  
  No Sint Maartener team has won any CONCACAF competition, or won a single game in the competition, and Sint Maartener clubs have infrequently participated in CONCACAF tournaments due to logistical issues.
  
  ## Who qualifies for CONCACAF competitions
  
  Since 2018, the winner of the SMSA Senior League, the top tier of football on the island qualifies for the Caribbean Club Shield, a tertiary knockout tournament for developing Caribbean football nations. This competition is held in the spring. This also serves as a qualifying for the CONCACAF League, which played tha fall. The CONCACAF League is the secondary association football competition for club football in North America. Should a team finish in the top six standings of the CONCACAF League, they qualify for the CONCACAF Champions League, which is played the following winter.
  
  In order for a Sint Maartener team to reach the Champions League, they would need to win the Caribbean Club Shield and then earn a top six finish in the CONCACAF League.
