The preliminary round of the 1992 Summer Olympics roller hockey competition was played between 26 and 30 July, consisting of a group stage with two groups of six teams. The teams distribution into the groups was performed as per the results at the 1991 Rink Hockey World Championship.[1] Each group was contested at a specific venue and all teams in the same group played against each other one time for a total of 5 matches per team, one match per day. In the end, the best three teams qualified for the semi-finals.
