The International Racquetball Federation's 20th Racquetball World Championships was held in Guatemala City, Guatemala from November 29-December 6, 2021. The event was to be held in the summer of 2020, but the COVID-19 pandemic led to the postponement of the event.
The 2021 World Racquetball Championships were the racquetball qualifying event for the 2022 World Games.
The defending champions were Rodrigo Montoya of Mexico in men's singles, Gabriela Martínez of Guatemala in women's singles, Mexicans Álvaro Beltrán and Daniel de la Rosa in men's doubles, and Bolivians Valeria Centellas and Yasmine Sabja in women's doubles. Mexico swept the team standings, topping the men's, women's and overall standings.
Tournament format The 2021 World Championships used a two-stage format to determine the World Champions. Initially, players competed in separate groups over three days. The results were used to seed players for an elimination round. Thus, there was no team competition. Team standings were based on points earned from the singles and doubles competitions.
