Top Young Talent Ready to Compete at U19 Girls’ Pan American Cup in Kingston

KINGSTON, Ontario, June 18, 2025. – Volleyball excitement is building in Kingston as the city prepares to host the NORCECA U19 Girls’ Pan American Cup from June 24 to 28 at Queen’s University’s Athletics & Recreation Centre.

Seven national teams from the Americas will take the court in pursuit of the Pan American crown, following Chile’s withdrawal due to unforeseen travel issues.

Participating National Teams from NORCECA qualify for the 2026 NORCECA U19 Girls Continental Championship, which is part of the qualification process to the 2027 U19 FIVB Girls World Championship.

Team USA enters the tournament as the defending champion and one of the title favorites, aiming to retain their crown. The event was last held in Puerto Rico in 2023 and saw the U.S. win gold, followed by Mexico with silver, and host Puerto Rico winning bronze. 

The tournament will feature three days of preliminary round-robin play, culminating in high-stakes semifinals on Friday, June 27, and medal matches on Saturday, June 28.
