Handball competitions at the 2015 Pan American Games in Toronto will be held from July 16 to 25 at the Direct Energy Centre (Exhibition Centre in Hall B).[1] Due to naming rights the arena will be known as the latter for the duration of the games.[2] A total of eight men's and women's teams will compete in each respective tournament.[3]

The winners of the two tournaments will qualify for the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. If the host nation, Brazil wins either tournament, the runner up will qualify instead.[4]
