The AVC Women's Champions League, previously the AVC Cup Women's Club Tournament (between 1999 and 2002) and Asian Women's Club Volleyball Championship (between 2004–2024), is an annual continental club volleyball competition organized by the Asian Volleyball Confederation (AVC), the sport's continental governing body. The competition was first contested in Thailand in 1999. It was not held in 2003 and 2020 due to 2002–2004 SARS outbreak and COVID-19 pandemic respectively.

For a long time, the winner of the Asian Women's Club Volleyball Championship qualifies for the FIVB Volleyball Women's Club World Championship. Starting in 2024, the restructured qualification now allows the two finalists to directly qualify in the world tournament.[1]

Tianjin Bohai Bank holds the record for most victories, winning the competition five times. China's teams have won the tournament eight times, the most for any nation. The current Asian club champions are NEC Red Rockets from Japan, who defeated LP Bank Ninh Bình 3–0 in the final of the 2024 event.

Starting from the 2025 edition, the tournament is rebranded and will be known as the AVC Women's Volleyball Champions League.[2]

Format

The overview of the competition format in the AVC Champions League is as follows:[3][4]

  • A maximum of 12 teams will join the tournament, including the hosts, which were automatically qualified.
  • The host country is allowed to field two teams in the tournament.
  • The tournament will span 8 gamedays.
  • Participating teams are divided into four pools of three teams apiece.
  • A team had a maximum 22 team members: 14 players, 6 officials, 1 accompanying referee, and 1 press with FIVB ID.
  • A maximum of three foreign players with a valid International Transfer Certificate can be on the team roster.
