The tournament doubled as the qualifier for two major international tournaments: the winner qualified directly to the 2018 World Cup, and the two teams not qualifying through the 2018 South American Games or the 2018 Central American and Caribbean Games qualified for the 2019 Pan American Games in Lima, Peru. Also, the top 6 teams qualified for the next Pan American Cup, while the bottom two need to compete in the Pan American Challenge.
Argentina won the tournament for the third time after defeating Canada 2–0 in the final.[2] As they had already secured an automatic berth at the 2018 World Cup thanks to a second-place finish at the World League Semifinal in London, England, their quota was immediately awarded to first reserve team New Zealand.[3]
Qualification
