===Sports===
419 events in 38 sports were contested in Lima, the largest number of medal events ever held at a single edition of the Pan American Games until that date. [[Bodybuilding]] and [[surfing]] were contested at the Pan-Am Games for the first time in 2019, [[basque pelota]] was reinstated after being absent from the 2015 Games, and women's baseball was dropped after debuting in 2015.<ref name=manual/>

Almost all of the new events being contested at the [[2020 Summer Olympics]] were already on the Pan-Am Games' program. [[Sport climbing]] was excluded because it did not have the required number of national federations in the Americas to be eligible for inclusion. [[Skateboarding]] was pulled from the program in May 2019; Panam Sports cited that [[World Skate]] had diminished the quality of the event by having not made the Games be a qualifier for the Olympics, and its partner [[Street League Skateboarding]] (SLS) having scheduled a World Tour event in Los Angeles that conflicted with the Games.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.insidethegames.biz/articles/1079293/skateboarding-axed-from-lima-2019-pan-american-games-program |title=Skateboarding axed from Lima 2019 Pan American Games program |date=May 16, 2019 |website=insidethegames.biz |publisher=Dunsar Media Company Limited |access-date=2019-06-13}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.pkfkarate.com/news/notice-to-visitors-pan-american-games-lima-2019/ |title=Notice to visitors :Pan American Games Lima 2019 |date=March 4, 2017 |website=pkfkarate.com |publisher=[[Panamerican Karate Federation]] |access-date=May 29, 2018}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |last=Butler |first=Nick |date=July 7, 2015 |url=https://www.insidethegames.biz/articles/1028531/surfing-added-to-lima-2019-pan-american-games-program |title=Surfing added to Lima 2019 Pan American Games program |website=insidethegames.biz |publisher=Dunsar Media Company Limited |access-date=December 20, 2017}}</ref><ref name=sport>{{cite news |last=Butler |first=Nick |date=November 17, 2016 |url=http://www.insidethegames.biz/articles/1043776/bodybuilding-added-to-lima-2019-program-as-agreement-signed-for-games-to-be-shown-outside-pan-americas |title=Bodybuilding added to Lima 2019 program as agreement signed for event to be shown outside Americas |website=insidethegames.biz |publisher=Dunsar Media Company Limited |access-date=November 17, 2016}}</ref>

The new disciplines that were scheduled to be introduced for the 2020 Summer Olympics were also added, including the 4 × 100m mixed medley relay, men's 800m and women's 1,500m in swimming, [[3x3 (basketball)|3-on-3 basketball]], [[Freestyle BMX|BMX freestyle park]], two new women's boxing events, [[Madison (cycling)|Madison]] track cycling, the transfer of three men's events to mixed team events in shooting, table tennis mixed doubles, archery mixed team, and triathlon mixed relay.

===Logo===
The official logo of the 2019 Pan American Games is inspired by the [[Ismene amancaes|amancay]], an indigenous flower that flourishes from June 24 through September 30. The flower and its pistils represent three athletes with open arms and the three Americas, with the identity of Lima. It was designed by Peruvian graphic designers Juan Diego Sanz and Jorge Luis Zárate.<ref>{{cite news |last=Shirinian |first=Zjan |date=July 27, 2014 |url=http://www.insidethegames.biz/articles/1021557/logo-unveiled-for-lima-2019-pan-american-games |title=Logo unveiled for Lima 2019 Pan American Games |website=insidethegames.biz |publisher=Dunsar Media Company Limited |access-date=April 23, 2016}}</ref>

In July 2017, it was announced ''Milco'' was the winner of the contest, receiving 45% of the vote.
