Main article: Wrestling at the 2019 Pan American Games

The following is the qualification system for the Wrestling at the 2019 Pan American Games event, along with a list of qualified wrestlers per weight category.

Qualification system

A total of 150 wrestlers will qualify to compete at the games. The winner of each weight category at the 2018 South American Games and 2018 Central American and Caribbean Games and the top three at the 2018 Pan American Championships will qualify for the Games.[1] The top three at the 2019 Pan American Championships also qualify. The host country (Peru) is guaranteed a spot in each event, but its athletes must compete in both the 2018 and 2019 Pan American Championship. If Peru has not qualified at the end of the 2019 Pan American Championships, the third spot available at the tournament will be awarded to Peru. A further six wildcards (four men and two women) will be awarded to nations without any qualified athlete but took part in the qualification tournaments.[2]
