It was planned to be held from 7 until 22 August 2021 in Tacarigua, Trinidad and Tobago.[1] However, following the postponement of the 2020 Summer Olympics to July and August 2021 because of the COVID-19 pandemic the tournament was rescheduled and on 4 September 2020 the hosts Trinidad and Tobago withdrew from hosting the tournament.[2]

Argentina were the defending champions, winning the 2017 edition.[3] They defended their title after a final win over Chile.

The top three teams qualified for the 2022 FIH Hockey World Cup.[4]

In November 2020, Pan American Hockey Federation announced that the cup would be held from 19 to 29 January 2022 in Santiago, Chile.

Notes

edit
  1. Chile already qualified by finishing in the top six at the 2017 Pan American Cup so that quota was added to the 2021 Pan American Challenge.
  2. The match, originally scheduled for 27 January, could not be played due to several positive COVID-19 tests by the team of Trinidad and Tobago. As a result, the game was forfeited by Trinidad and Tobago and counted as a 5–0 win for Uruguay.[6]
