The Pan American Racquetball Championships are held annually in the spring with play ending on the day before Easter. Originally called the Tournament of the Americas, the Pan American Championships are hosted by the Pan American Racquetball Confederation.https://www.internationalracquetball.com/ International Racquetball Federation
The 2026 Pan American Championships were held in Guatemala City, Guatemala, March 28 to April 4, 2026. Bolivian Conrrado Moscoso won men's singles, and Argentina's Maria Jose Vargas won women's singles. Mexicans Javier Mar and Rodrigo Montoya won men's doubles while Vargas and Valeria Centellas won women's doubles, and Costa Ricans Andrés Acuña and Larrisa Faeth won mixed doubles. The 2026 championships also had a team event, which was won by Mexico on the men's side and Argentina on the women's side.
The 2022 Pan American Championships were the first to use rally scoring, which was adopted by the International Racquetball Federation in early 2022. Also, mixed doubles and men's and Women's Team competitions were implemented for the first time. In the team competitions, countries compete head-to-head over three matches: two singles matches and a doubles match. Argentina and Bolivia were the first team champions: Argentina winning the women's team competition and Bolivia the men's team competition. Mexicans Rodrigo Montoya and Samantha Salas were the first mixed doubles Pan American Champions.
The 2022 competition was the first in three years, as the COVID-19 pandemic caused the cancellation of the 2020 and 2021 tournaments. The competition was not held in two years previously. In 1995, the Pan Am Games were held in the spring, so that year's Tournament of the Americas (as the competition was then known) was not held. In 2000, the competition was cancelled due to the civil unrest in Bolivia, which was to host the event.
