Handball at the Pan American Games began at the 1987 edition in Indianapolis, United States for both men and women.Due a lack of teams, the 1991 edition of the Pan American Games, however, held only a men's handball competition.
Argentina are the current men's champion, winning their second consecutive (and third overall) gold at the 2023 edition. Meanwhile, Brazil has won the last seven editions of the women's tournament.
