2011 (Cayman Islands)
The second tournament, hosted by the Cayman Islands, saw the return to competition of island teams from Trinidad and Jamaica, but no teams from outside the Caribbean, possibly because the tournament clashed with the U20 Nations Cup. Other islands were again represented by a Caribbean Select XV . For the first time, all matches in the tournament were streamed live (by Cayman Rugby TV).Table
