In the Summer Youth Olympic Games in 2018 in Buenos Aires two competitions were in the beach handball held.

The competitions took place from October 7th to 13th.

Each National Olympic Committee (NOC) was allowed to have a maximum of two teams per gender in one of the team sports (futsal, beach handball, hockey, and rugby 7). The host nation was allowed to provide a team in each team sport.

Boys tournament

The following nations took part in the boys' tournament:

Attendees
Argentina	Italy	Russia
Paraguay	Spain	Chinese Taipei
Uruguay	Croatia	Thailand
Venezuela	Hungary	Mauritius

Originally, in addition to the host from Argentina, the hosts from Mauritius (before Togo and South Africa), for the starting place of Oceania, Australia (before New Zealand), for the two starting places of the Americas Venezuela and Australia qualified for a starting place from Africa at the Beach Handball Junior World Championships in Mauritius in 2017 Paraguay, for the two starting places in Asia Taiwan (Chinese Taipei) and Thailand (before Pakistan). Spain, Italy and Russia (ahead of Portugal) qualified for the three starting positions in Europe.

Italy and Russia had also qualified for the boys' futsal tournament. Italy decided to take the starting place in beach handball, Russia in futsal. Thus Portugal moved up as the best European team in the Junior World Championship. Australia decided to take part in the hockey tournament. Thus New Zealand would have moved up, but also decided against it, so that the starting place Oceania remained vacant. The last two free places were given to countries that had no qualifying places in any other team sport, Uruguay and Croatia.
