Originally the Haudenosaunee were not eligible to qualify due to not being represented by a National Olympic Committee.^[4] Its men's lacrosse team would have qualified through placing third at the 2018 World Lacrosse Championship.^[5]^[6] The Haudenosaunee were declared eligible after Ireland vacated their berth in their favor.^[4]

Like their men's counterpart, the women's team was deemed eligible to qualify.^[5]^[3]
