Summary
The tie between Haiti and the United States doubled as a qualification tie for the 1970 FIFA World Cup.
The competition began on 20 April when Haiti defeated the United States 2–0 in the first leg. On 11 May, Haiti won 1–0 in the second leg to qualify 3–0 on aggregate.

Mexico defeated Bermuda 3–0 in the first leg on 21 October. On 2 November, Bermuda won 2–1 against Mexico but it wasn't enough to overcome the first leg defeat and Mexico qualified 4–2 on aggregate. The following day, Jamaica and Panama drew 1–1 in the first leg. Both legs of their tie would take place in Kingston, Jamaica so the second leg was played on 5 November, two days later.
