# Field hockey at the 2015 Pan American Games – Women's tournament

The women's field hockey tournament at the 2015 Pan American Games was held in Toronto, Canada at the Pan Am / Parapan Am Fields from July 13 to 24.
For these Games, the women competed in an 8-team tournament. The teams were grouped into two pools of four teams each for a round-robin preliminary round. All teams will advance to an eight team single elimination bracket.
The United States are the defending champions from the 2011 Pan American Games in Guadalajara, defeating Argentina, 4–2 in the final.
The winner of this tournament will qualify for the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro.

## Qualification

A total of eight women's teams qualified to compete at the games. The top two teams at the South American and Central American and Caribbean Games qualified for the tournament. The host nation (Canada) automatically qualified as well. The remaining three spots were e given to the three best teams from the 2013 Pan American Cup that had not qualified yet. This happened after the two qualification tournaments in 2014 were played. Each nation may enter one team (16 athletes per team).
