The tournament was held in Lima, Peru.[1]

Canada won the title, defeating the Czech Republic in the final, and earned the right to participate in the 2020 Nations League replacing Bulgaria, the last placed challenger team after the 2019 edition. Argentina defeated Croatia in the 3rd place match.[2]
