The 1957 CCCF Championship, the eighth edition of the CCCF Championship, was held in the Netherlands Antilles. Haiti won the tournament.[1]

Although the competition was hosted in the then newly constituted nation of Netherlands Antilles, the national team of the Netherlands Antilles never adopted the new nation's name until after the 1958 FIFA World Cup qualifiers, continuing to compete until then as Curaçao.[2]
