Sailing competitions at the 2019 Pan American Games in Lima, Peru took place between August 3 and 10, 2019 at the Yacht Club Peruano in the city of Paracas.[1]

Ten medal events were contested. Two of the events were for men, three for women, two were open (any gender can compete) and three are mixed (entries are required to include both genders). Eight of the events were carried over from the 2015 Games, with the Nacra 17 and Kites events replacing the Hobie 16 and J/24.[2] A total of 148 athletes across 106 boats qualified to compete at the games.[3] On January 17, 2019, it was announced that an 11th medal event would be contested, the 49er, for men. A total of 168 sailors and 116 boats were scheduled to compete.[4][5][6]

The top placing athlete (not already qualified) from North America and South America in the men's laser and women's laser radial, qualified for the sailing competitions at the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo, Japan, along with the top two boats in the 49er, 49erfx and Nacra 17 events will also qualify.[7]
