The 2023 Women's U23 Pan-American Volleyball Cup was the sixth edition of the Women's U23 Pan-American Volleyball Cup, the bi-annual volleyball tournament organized by the Pan-American Volleyball Union (UPV) that brings together the NORCECA and Confederación Sudamericana de Voleibol (CSV) U23 women's national teams. It was held in Hermosillo, Mexico from 18 to 23 July 2023.[1]
Dominican Republic were the five-time defending champions having won all the 5 previous editions.[2] The Dominicans managed to retain the title and win their sixth in a row after defeating the hosts Mexico 3–1 in the final match, which was a rematch of the previous 2021 final.[3] Argentina took the bronze medal by beating Peru 3–1 in the third-place match.[4]
Up to a maximum of 8 national teams could qualify for the tournament as follows: the host nation, the top 4 teams in the NORCECA U23 ranking that confirmed their participation and the top 3 teams in the CSV U23 ranking that confirmed their participation.[5] Eventually, there were 5 NORCECA teams and 2 CSV teams that confirmed their participation, with Honduras entering the tournament after the declination of the eligible teams needed to complete the line of 8 teams.
The following were the teams eligible to participate in the tournament (teams that confirmed their participation marked in bold and confederation ranking, if given, shown in brackets):[6] NORCECA (North, Central America and Caribbean Volleyball Confederation)

Each national team had to register a squad of 12 players. Players born on 1 January 2001 and onwards were eligible to compete in the tournament.[5]
In the Pan-American Cups the competition format depends on the number of participating teams. With 8 teams, two pools of four teams each were formed. The pool standing procedure were as follows:[5]
The winners of each pool advanced directly to the semi-finals, while the runners-up and the third placed teams advanced to the quarter-finals.
The teams were distributed into two pools following their positions on the NORCECA and CSV rankings.[5]
