Japan and England both advanced out of a thrilling Pool D with 3-1 records on a goal-differential tiebreaker over Ireland, which also had a strong campaign. England narrowly edged Ireland on the final day of pool play to secure its spot, and Japan defeated England when it was on the brink of elimination a day earlier.

Wales secured its spot in the playoffs with a dramatic 8-6 win over the Haudenosaunee in a win-and-in game on the final day of pool play, ensuring its record of finishing in the top eight in each edition of the  championship stays in tact.

Puerto Rico is making its second appearance in the championship, and after surprising with an undefeated record and ninth place finish as an affiliate member in 2019, it has backed up its growth with a quarterfinal appearance in Hong Kong. Puerto Rico’s key win came against China on day five of pool play.

Italy is making its debut in the event and fended off fierce competition from three strong opponents in Mexico, New Zealand and Scotland in Pool C.

The United States will be on the hunt for a sixth gold medal in the championship, but has to do so from the second overall seed, with a potential matchup against Australia looming in the semifinals.
