The Italian Women's Volleyball League Serie A1 (Italian: Serie A1 italiana di pallavolo femminile), is the highest professional women's volleyball league in Italy.

It is considered one of the oldest women's top national leagues in European volleyball, being established in 1946, and its clubs have achieved significant success in the continental European club competitions.

History[]

Format[]

The league was originally played in a single round-robin format, with all clubs placed in a single group. As more clubs joined the league, the format changed to an initial stage composed of various groups with clubs advancing to a final group for the title. In 1983 a play-off format was introduced, with all clubs playing a regular season in a single group and the best teams advancing to the play-offs.
