The competition is sponsored to the tune of $1.5 million by JNBS and has attracted 67 teams, with Boulevard Baptist, Rivoli United and Waterford Sports Council as newcomers. Mico have also made a return to the competition, following a two-year absence.

Jamalco are the defending champions of the Jo Wigman competition, while Tivoli Gardens 'A' and 'B' are the defending open league and consolation champions, respectively.

Trinidad and Tobago and South Africa, who are both gearing for their tri-nation series against host, Jamaica's Sunshine Girls, will also be in attendance at the opening ceremony.
