The 2015 CARIFTA Games took place between 3 and 6 April 2015. The event was held at the Silver Jubilee Stadium in Bird Rock, south-eastern suburb of Basseterre, Saint Kitts and Nevis.[1] During the games, the stadium was officially renamed the "Kim Collins National Athletic Stadium" in honour of the country's 2003 100m world champion Kim Collins.[2] It was the second time after 2008 that the event was hosted by Saint Kitts and Nevis.
A report of the event was given for the IAAF.[3]

Daejha Moss from the Bahamas cleared both the 1.68m and the 1.65m in the second attempt, while Anelia Austrie from Dominica cleared the 1.68m in the third and the 1.65m in the second attempt.
