# 2018 Pan American Youth Olympic Games Qualifier (girls' field hockey)

The 2018 Pan American Youth Olympic Games Qualifier for girls' field hockey, also known as 2018 Youth Pan American Championship was the third edition of the Youth Pan American Championship, an international field hockey competition held from 12 – 17 March 2018 in Guadalajara, Mexico.
The tournament also served as a direct qualifier for the 2018 Summer Youth Olympics, with the winner and runner-up qualifying. However, since Argentina has already qualified as the hosts, but also won this competition, the second and third-placed teams (Uruguay and Mexico) qualified for the Summer Youth Olympics.
