The participating national teams are eligible to compete in the 2025 NORCECA U19 Pan American Cup; both events are part of the qualification process for the 2025 FIVB U19 Girls’ World Championship.

Texas A&M women’s head coach Jamie Morrison will serve as the head coach with assistance from Keegan Cook of Minnesota and Michelle Chatman Smith of League One Volleyball. Morrison coached the Girls U19 team that won gold at Worlds last year.
The last edition of the championship was held in 2018, also in Honduras, when the age-group was classified as U18. The U.S. won its eighth championship that year.
Eight teams will compete in the event, divided into two groups. The U.S. is in Group A with Canada, Cuba and Puerto Rico. Group B consists of Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, Mexico, and the host Honduras.
