AVC Women's Challenge Cup

The AVC Women's Challenge Cup, also known as the AVC Challenge Cup for Women, is an annual international volleyball competition in Asia and Oceania contested by the senior women's national teams of the members of Asian Volleyball Confederation (AVC), the sport's continent governing body.

From 2023 to 2024, the winner will qualify for the FIVB Challenger Cup.

This event should not be confused with the other, more prestigious continental competition for Asian national women's volleyball teams, the Asian Volleyball Championship and Asian Volleyball Cup.

The three AVC Challenge Cup tournaments has been won by two different national teams. Vietnam have won twice while Hong Kong have won once.

History
Originally, the tournament was scheduled to be awarded every two years beginning in 2018. This tournament was initially set up to serve as a qualifier to the Women's Asian Volleyball Cup, which served as the tournament for the top teams of the AVC. The first two editions were due to take place in Hong Kong, China. But due to unforeseen reasons, the first edition in 2018 was not held, while the second edition two years later was canceled due to grave concerns over the COVID-19 pandemic. The tournament first took place in 2022. The champions were Hong Kong, which won their first title at the 2022 edition in a round-robin format. In the 2023 edition, Vietnam were crowned as the champions, who also won their first title in the tournament and qualified for the 2023 FIVB Challenger Cup.

From 2023 to 2024, the AVC Challenge Cup has reformed from being held biennially to annually as it serve as a qualifier for the FIVB Challenger Cup.
