Argentina are the defending champions from the 2011 Pan American Games in Guadalajara, defeating Brazil, 26–23 in the final.

The winner of the tournament will qualify for the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, while the 2nd place will qualify for the Olympic Qualification Tournament. If the host nation, Brazil wins, the runner up will qualify instead.^[2]
