Pan American Junior Chess Championship

The Pan American Junior Chess Championship is an annual chess tournament open to players in the Americas who are under 20 years of age. The tournament has been held since 1974 with occasional interruptions. Beginning in 1995, a separate championship for girls has been held concurrently with the open championship.

The reigning champion is Annie Wang, who was the first girl to win any of the gender-unrestricted continental under-20 championships.
