The 1970 CONCACAF Champions' Cup was the 6th edition of the annual international club association football competition held in the CONCACAF region (North America, Central America and the Caribbean), the CONCACAF Champions' Cup

It was played from 26 April to 5 June 1970 under the home/away match system. The teams were split into three zones (North American, Central American and Caribbean), each qualifying the winner to the final tournament. The final tournament was not held and Cruz Azul were declared CONCACAF Champions after Deportivo Saprissa and SV Transvaal withdrew.

Cruz Azul from Mexico won the competition for the second time in their history, having also won the 1969 Champions' Cup the previous year.[1]
