Draw

[edit]

Pots one through three were based on each team's finish at their respective qualification tournament. Pot 1 consisted of the champions, pot 2 the runners-up and pot 3 contained the third placed teams. Pot 4 contained the host nation, Canada and the United States. Teams were placed into groups using a random draw (with each group receiving one team per pot). The draw was held in San Juan, Puerto Rico on December 16, 2014.[5] Canada as host nation were able to select their group after the first three pots were drawn. This automatically placed the United States into the group Canada did not select.[6]
