The 2013 Women's Pan American Cup was the fourth 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. It was held between 21 and 28 September 2013 in Mendoza, Argentina.
The tournament doubled as the qualifier for two major international tournaments: the winner would qualify directly to the 2014 Hockey World Cup, and the three teams not qualifying through the 2014 South American Championship or the 2014 Central American and Caribbean Games would qualify for the 2015 Pan American Games to be held in Toronto, Canada.
Argentina won the tournament for the fourth consecutive time after defeating the United States 1–0 in the final. As they had already secured an automatic berth at the 2014 Hockey World Cup to defend their title obtained in 2010 thanks to a third-place finish at the World League Semifinal in London, England, their quota was immediately awarded to third reserve team, the United States.
Qualification In early 2011 the Pan American Hockey Federation (PAHF) announced a new qualification system for Pan American Cup, recognizing the differences in team strength of the top playing nations and the remaining associations. The top six nations at the 2009 Pan American Cup now will qualify directly with the remaining two spots being taken at the newly created Pan American Challenge, which was held in 2011 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
