AVC Women's Volleyball Champions League

The competition began in 1999 when the Asian Volleyball Confederation (AVC) announced the establishment of the first official men's and women's club championships, to be held under its supervision. The tournament was initially known as the ''AVC Cup Women's Club Volleyball Tournament for its first four editions, before being renamed the Asian Women's Club Volleyball Championship'' in 2004. The first three editions was played in a round-robin format. In 2002, the competition adopted a two-round system: a preliminary round (featuring a pool round, from which the top four teams advanced) followed by a final round (consisting of semi-finals and a final). From 2004 to 2007, the tournament reverted to a round-robin format. From 2008 to 2021, the tournament followed a similar format, with the final stage included quarter-finals, semi-finals, and a final (except in 2016, when the tournament had a three-round system: a preliminary round, a classification round, and a final round). In 2022, a round-robin preliminary round had been adopted, with a final round consisting of just two matches (a third place match and a final). From 2023 up to now, the same format as from 2008 to 2021 has been followed, with little difference in 2023 when there are no quarter-finals in the final stage. Starting with the 2025 edition, the tournament will be rebranded as the ''AVC Women's Volleyball Champions League''. ==Competition formula==

Qualification The tournament features a maximum of 12 participating teams, with the host country automatically qualifying. The host nation is permitted to field up to two teams in the competition. Other teams will qualify through the designated qualification pathway established for that particular year. For the 2025 edition, all remaining participating teams were granted entry by invitation only. Final tournament The tournament consists of two rounds: a preliminary round (pool phase) and a final round (direct elimination phase). During the preliminary round, the 12 qualified teams are divided into four pools—labeled A through D—each containing three teams. Within each pool, teams compete in a round-robin format, with each team playing against the other two teams once. Following the pool phase, the top two teams from each pool advance to the final round, which includes the quarter-finals, semi-finals, and the final match. Prize money The teams advancing to the semifinals of this competition will be awarded a total prize of US$50,000 by the Asian Volleyball Confederation (AVC). This marks the first time that a prize has been introduced in an AVC event in 2025. • Champions: US$20,000 • Runners-up: US$15,000 • Third place: US$10,000 • Fourth place: US$5,000 ==Results==
