The 2014 CARIFTA Games were held from April 19–21, 2014 at the Stade Pierre Aliker in Fort-de-France, Martinique.[1] A detailed report of the event was given for the IAAF.[2]
For the first time, the youth competition was open for athletes aged under-18 rather than under-17.[2] The event served as regional trials for the athletics competitions at the 2014 Summer Youth Olympics.[3]
The Austin Sealy Trophy for the most outstanding athlete of the games was awarded to Akela Jones, Barbados. She won three gold medals (100 m hurdles, high jump, and long jump) in the junior (U-20) category.[4]
Records
By default, all winning marks in the U-18 category were new championship records, because the category was newly introduced substituting the U-17 category. However, only the marks that improved the existent U-17 records are considered here.

Medal table (unofficial)
The originally published official medal table[95] differs slightly from the unofficial count displayed below in bronze medals (and consequently in the total number of medals) for Jamaica (+1), the Bahamas (-1), and Saint Lucia (-1) triggering some discussion.[96] The medal count below was confirmed by a careful re-evaluation of the published results.[5] Corrected medal numbers in accordance with those below for Jamaica[97][98] and the Bahamas[99] were published.
