Teams

Ten teams were competing in the 2019 tournament, two more than in previous tournament. This is due to the split of the Pan-American Team Handball Federation at an IHF Council meeting in Zagreb which was split into the North America and the Caribbean Handball Confederation (NACHC) and the South and Central America Handball Confederation (SCAHC).[4] New York City THC became the first team from North America to compete in the IHF Super Globe after finishing top of the continental championship.[5] The winners of continental tournaments, the defending champion, a host team and wild card teams participated.[6]
