The 23rd edition of the Women's Pan American Cup begins on September 11 in León, Guanajuato, Mexico. Held at the Domo de la Feria, the tournament runs through September 18 and serves as a critical pathway for teams seeking qualification for the 2027 Pan American Games in Lima and the 2027 World Championship.
Participating teams will compete for FIVB world ranking points. The Mexican national team, led by Italian coach Nicola Negro and captain Jocelyn Urías, aims to secure a championship on home soil.
