Racquetball has been part of the Pan American Games since 1995 Games in Mar del Plata, Argentina, although it was not included in the 2007 Games due host country cultural reasons. Racquetball was again included in the 2011 Pan American Games in Guadalajara, Mexico, 2015 Pan American Games in Toronto, Ontario, 2019 Pan American Games in Lima, Peru, and the 2023 Pan American Games in Santiago, Chile.
The United States dominated the racquetball events in the first three games, but Mexico has been the dominant country in the last four games, winning 11 of 12 gold medals in the women's events and 6 of the 12 gold medals in the men's events.
In 2023, for the first time four countries split the gold from the 7 events (men's & women's singles & doubles, mixed doubles & men's & women's team events), and that's the most countries to win a gold in racquetball at a single Pan Am Games.
The Pan American Sports announced that racquetball will be included in the 2027 Pan American Games program in Lima, Peru on August 7, 2025.
