There would be two rounds of play:

  • First round: The 10 teams were divided into two groups of five teams each. The teams played against each other once. The group winners advanced to the second round.
  • Second round: The two teams played against each other on a home-and-away basis. The winner advanced to the OFC–CONMEBOL inter-confederation play-off.
