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

The winner of the Asian Women's Club Volleyball Championship qualifies for the FIVB Volleyball Women's Club World Championship.

Tianjin Bohai Bank hold the record for most victories, winning the competition five times. Teams from China have won the tournament eight times, the most for any nation. The current Asian champions are China's Tianjin Bohai Bank, who defeated Thailand's Supreme Chonburi 3–1 in the final of the 2019 event.

Format[]

The overview of the competition format in the 2021 tournament was as follows:[1]

  • 16 teams competed in the final tournament, including the hosts which were automatically qualified.
  • Teams were seeded by the result of 2019 Asian Men's Club Volleyball Championship, based on a serpentine system.
  • The tournament was held in 8 days.
  • A team had a maximum 22 team members: 14 players, 6 officials, 1 accompanying referee, and 1 press with FIVB ID.
  • Two foreign players would be ineligible for participating on each team with a valid International Transfer Certificate.

In addition, the hosting national federation might have an additional team entry only in case of less than 8 participating teams.
