Taekwondo competitions at the 2019 Pan American Games in Lima, Peru were held between July 26 to 29, 2019 at the Polideportivo Villa El Salvador, which also hosted the volleyball competitions.[1]
12 medal events were contested. Eight of these events were in Kyorugi (four per gender). This edition marked the premiere of the pomsae events. These events were added after the request of the Organizing Committee as it understood that the chances of medal at this sport were very low for the host country.[2] A total of 140 athletes were scheduled to compete.[3]
