The 2012 Latin American Table Tennis Cup was held at the Eddy Cortez National Sports Centre in San José, Costa Rica from May 25–27, 2012 and was a qualifier for the 2012 Table Tennis World Cup. A prize pool of US$10,000 was at stake.[1] The event was the second edition of the competition and was organized by the International Table Tennis Federation, the Latin American Table Tennis Union, and the Costa Rican Table Tennis Association.[2] Brazilian Thiago Monteiro won the men's event; fellow Brazilian Caroline Kumahara won the women's competition.

Seeds

Seeding was based on the ITTF World Ranking lists published on May 1, 2012.[3][4][5]

Men's Competition

The twelve competitors were split into four groups of three, playing each groupmate once. The top two in each group advanced to the single-elimination bracket.

After the favorite and number one seed, Lin Ju, failed to advance beyond the group stage,[6] the event was essentially up for grabs. In the semifinals, Thiago Monteiro defeated Gaston Alto and Liu Song beat Cazuo Matsumoto. Monteiro defeated Liu Song, 4-1, in the final to claim the title and qualify for the Liebherr World Cup.[7] Both Matsumoto and Alto won bronze medals.[8]
