The men's handball tournament at the 2015 Pan American Games in Toronto, Canada, was held at the Exhibition Centre (in Hall B) from July 17 to 25.[3]

For these Games, the men competed in an 8-team tournament. The teams were grouped into two pools of four teams each for a round-robin preliminary round. The top two teams in each group advanced to a single elimination bracket.

Argentina were the defending champions from the 2011 Pan American Games in Guadalajara, defeating Brazil, 26–23 in the final. The two teams faced each other again in the 2015 final, this time with Brazil the victor, 29-27 in extra time.

The tournament determined one direct qualifier for the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and one entrant in the Olympic Qualification Tournament. Because the Olympic host nation, Brazil, won, the runner up (Argentina) qualified directly for the Olympics and the third-place team (Chile) earned a spot in the Olympic Qualification Tournament.[4]

Qualification

A total of eight men's teams qualified to compete at the games. The top three teams at the South American and Central American and Caribbean Games qualified, along with the host nation Canada.[5] The United States and Uruguay competed against one another in a home/away playoff for the last spot in the tournament. The fourth placed team in the Central American and Caribbean Games both declined to compete in the respective tournaments.[6]

Olympic Qualification Tournament

The Olympic Qualification Tournament will be held in 7–10 April 2016. Only twelve teams that have not yet qualified through the five events mentioned above can play in the tournament:

  • The top six teams from the World championship that did not already qualify through their continental championships are eligible to participate in the tournament.
  • The best ranked teams of each continent in the World championship will represent the continent in order to determine the continental ranking. The first ranked continent will receive two more places for the tournament. The second, third and fourth ranked continent will receive one place each. The last place belongs to a team from Oceania, if it was ranked between 8th–12th at the World Championship. But, as no team from Oceania met this condition, the second ranked continent received an extra place instead. The teams, which already earned their places through their World championship ranking will not be considered for receiving places through the continental criterion.
  • The twelve teams will be allocated in three pools of four teams according to the table below. The top two teams from each pool will qualify for the 2016 Olympic Games.
