There were 128 entries from 11 nations.[2]
Olympic Qualification edit
This event also served as the Oceanian qualification for the postponed 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo. The only available quota was for the men's C1 event, after Australia and New Zealand earned quotas for the other Olympic disciplines at the 2019 World Championships in La Seu d'Urgell.[1]
Daniel Watkins secured the final quota for Australia by winning the C1 event.[3]
