The 2017 Men's Pan American Cup was the fifth edition of the Pan American Cup for men. It was held between 4 and 12 August 2017 in Lancaster, United States, simultaneously with the women's tournament.
The tournament doubled as the qualifier for two major international tournaments: the winner qulaified directly to the 2018 World Cup, and the two teams not qualifying through the 2018 South American Games or the 2018 Central American and Caribbean Games qulaified for the 2019 Pan American Games to be held in Lima, Peru. Also, the top 6 teams qulaified for the next Pan American Cup, while the bottom two need to compete in the Pan American Challenge.
Argentina won the tournament for the third time after defeating Canada 2–0 in the final. As they had already secured an automatic berth at the 2018 World Cup thanks to a second-place finish at the World League Semifinal in London, England, their quota was immediately awarded to first reserve team New Zealand.
The top six nations at the 2013 Pan American Cup qualified directly with the remaining two spots were assigned to the first and second placed team at the 2015 Pan American Challenge, which was held in Chiclayo, Peru.
