The tournament doubled as the qualifier for two major international tournaments: the winner would qualify directly to the 2014 Hockey World Cup, and the three teams not qualifying through the 2014 South American Championship or the 2014 Central American and Caribbean Games would qualify for the 2015 Pan American Games to be held in Toronto, Canada.
Argentina won the tournament for the fourth consecutive time after defeating the United States 1–0 in the final. As they had already secured an automatic berth at the 2014 Hockey World Cup to defend their title obtained in 2010 thanks to a third-place finish at the World League Semifinal in London, England, their quota was immediately awarded to third reserve team, the United States.
