The 2016 Pan American Men's Handball Championship was the 17th official competition for senior men's national handball teams of North, Center, Caribbean and South America. It was held from 11 to 19 June 2016 at the Tecnópolis in Buenos Aires, Argentina. It also acted as the qualifying competition for the 2017 World Men's Handball Championship in France, securing three vacancies for the World Championship.[1]

Brazil won the tournament for the third time after defeating Chile 28–24 in the final.[2]

Participating teams

Venezuela was originally qualified but withdrew due to economic trouble. The Pan-American Team Handball Federation chose Mexico to replace it.[3]

Preliminary round

The draw was held on 23 April 2016 at the Planetario in Buenos Aires.[4][5][6]

All times are local (UTC−3).
