The Junior Pan American Games is a multi-sport event held every four years among youth athletes from all over the American continent. The Games have been organized by Panam Sports. This event, inspired by the Youth Olympic Games, is exclusively for athletes who are under 21 years of age, with fewer requirements on infrastructure and cost than the Pan American Games.[1]

The last games were held in Cali-Valle, Colombia from November 25 to December 5, 2021 and the next games will be held in Asunción, Paraguay in 2025.[2]
