The 2025 Women's Pan American Cup was the seventh edition of the Women's Pan American Cup, the quadrennial international women's field hockey championship of the Americas organised by the Pan American Hockey Federation. The tournament was held alongside the men's tournament in Montevideo, Uruguay from 24 July to 3 August 2025.[1]

Argentina were the defending champions and retained their title with a 3–0 win over the United States in the final. In the bronze medal match, Uruguay made history, defeating Chile 2–0 to win their first ever Pan American Cup medal.[2]

The tournament served as the Pan American qualifier for the 2026 FIH World Cup, with the winner of the tournament earning direct qualification.[3] As Argentina had already qualified via the 2024–25 FIH Pro League, their qualification quota passed to the United States.[3][4]

Qualification

[edit]

The tournament included eight teams: the six highest-ranked teams from the 2022 Pan American Cup, the host country if not already qualified, and the winner from the 2024 Pan American Challenge.[5]

Argentina, Canada, Chile, Trinidad and Tobago, the United States and Uruguay qualified from the 2022 Pan American Cup. As the host country Uruguay already qualified via the Pan American Cup its quota was filled by the highest-ranked team in the FIH Women's World Ranking which participated in the 2022 Pan American Cup or the 2024 Pan American Challenge. Finally, Mexico qualified as the winners from the 2024 Pan American Challenge.[6]
