Handball at the Pan American Games began at the 1987 edition in Indianapolis, United States for both men and women.Due a lack of teams, the 1991 edition of the Pan American Games, however, held only a men's handball competition.
Argentina are the current men's champion, winning their second consecutive (and third overall) gold at the 2023 edition.[1] Meanwhile, Brazil has won the last seven editions of the women's tournament.[2]
