This has been a weird tournament. Mexico easily provided the closest game to the USA South, but ended up 1-3 with every other game won or lost by a try or less. Bermuda won their other three games and will play USA South in the final.

T&T will play Mexico for 3rd. Plans for a Mexico B vs the 5th-placed team appear to have been scrapped.
