The United States competed in the 2019 Pan American Games in Lima, Peru from July 26 to August 11, 2019. The team included 313 men and 327 women.
The United States traditionally fielded its B or C teams in the most of sports. In basketball, the US men's team was made up of U20 Big East collegiate players, who were blown out by a senior professional Argentine team in the semi-final, but still managed to win bronze against the Dominican Republic.
The United States 4x100 mixed medley relay swimming team originally won the gold medal, however it was disqualified for two alleged breaststroke kicks off the turn. USA Swimming voiced their disagreement with the decision, but they were not allowed to appeal.
The United States topped the medal count with 122 gold and 293 overall medals, its best result in the 21st century.
