The Pan American Racquetball Championships are the continental championships of racquetball, held every year in the spring with play ending on the day before Easter. The event was first known as the Tournament of the Americas and is hosted by the Pan American Racquetball Confederation. The 2026 edition took place in Guatemala City, Guatemala, from 28 March to 4 April, with titles in singles, doubles, mixed doubles and men's and women's team events. The 2022 championships were the first to use rally scoring and the first to add mixed doubles and the team competitions, in which countries meet head to head over two singles matches and a doubles match. The tournament was not held in 1995, because the Pan American Games took its place that spring, nor in 2000, when civil unrest in Bolivia forced its cancellation, and the pandemic cancelled the 2020 and 2021 editions.
