25 teams took part in qualification, including hosts Nicaragua, who participated for preparation reasons. The teams who failed to qualify for the previous edition played in the pre-qualifiers. The advancing teams progressed to the qualifiers where each team was drawn into four groups of four. The top three from each group qualified for the AmeriCup. The qualifiers draw was held on 9 August 2023 in Miami.[2][3] Games were played from February 2024 to February 2025, to determine the 12 nations who will qualify for the tournament.
Of the twelve qualified teams, 10 were present in the previous edition. Hosts Nicaragua will make their debut in this edition while Bahamas returned to the competition after 30 years, their only prior appearance being in 1995.
Of the teams who failed to qualify, Mexico, who won the competition in 2013, failed to qualify. Virgin Islands also didn't qualify after being eliminated in the pre-qualifiers.
Argentina, Brazil, Canada and Puerto Rico all continued their perfect record of participating in every tournament.
