The Asian Women's Volleyball Cup, also known as the AVC Cup for Women, is an international volleyball competition in Asia and Oceania contested by the top senior women's national teams of the members of Asian Volleyball Confederation (AVC), the sport's continent governing body. The tournaments have been awarded every two years since 2008. The current champion is Japan, which won its first title at the 2022 tournament.

Asian Volleyball Challenge Cup
.

The 7 Asian Cup tournaments have been won by three different national teams. China have won five times. The other Asian Cup winners are Japan and Thailand, with one title each.

History

In August 2022, beginning next year the biennial tournament will now be done annually according to AVC Control Committee President and Technical Director Dr. Han Joo Eom.[1]
