XXII Women’s Pan American Cup Heads to Colima, Mexico

COLIMA, Mexico, July 30, 2025. – The city of Colima, in Colima, Mexico, will host the 22nd edition of the NORCECA Senior Women’s Volleyball Pan American Cup from August 3 to 10.

The 2025 Women’s Pan American Cup is part of the qualification process for multiple major events: the 2026 Women’s Pan American Cup, the 2026 NORCECA Women’s Continental Championship, the 2026 Central American & Caribbean Games, and the 2027 Pan American Games. In addition, the tournament awards FIVB World Ranking points.

For South American teams, the CSV (South American Volleyball Confederation) may use FIVB/CSV ranking points earned in Colima to determine qualification for future events.

A total of eleven teams will compete, divided into two pools:

Pool A: Canada, Colombia, Cuba, United States, Venezuela

Pool B: Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, Peru, Puerto Rico, Trinidad & Tobago, Mexico (host)

After the round-robin stage, the first-place teams in each pool advance directly to the semifinals. Second and third places will play the quarterfinals. Fourth and fifth will compete for positions 7–10, while the sixth-placed team in Pool B will conclude its participation.

The United States is the tournament’s most successful team, with seven gold medals since the event’s inception in 2002. The Dominican Republic follows with five titles, Cuba with four, and Brazil with three. The current champion is Argentina, which captured back-to-back golds in 2023 and 2024 but will not defend its title this year.

The preliminary round will run from August 3 through 7. Quarterfinals and the 7–10 classification matches are scheduled for August 8. Semifinals and placement matches for 7-8 and 9-10 will take place on August 9, with medal matches and the 5-6 classification wrapping up the competition on August 10.
