Updated: 12/11/2025, 4:19:36 AM Wikipedia source
The 2025 AVC Women's Volleyball Nations Cup was the first of the newly rebranded AVC Women's Volleyball Nations Cup, and sixth overall edition of the formerly known AVC Women's Challenge Cup, an annual international volleyball tournament organized by the Asian Volleyball Confederation (AVC) with Volleyball Federation of Vietnam (VFV). It was held from 7 to 14 June 2025 in Hanoi, Vietnam. As the FIVB Volleyball Nations League restructured its format and abolished the Challenger Cup as a direct qualifier to the tournament, this tournament would served to countries currently not participating in the Nations League to garner world ranking points for a chance to enter the said competition. Vietnam, the champions of this tournament qualified for the 2026 Asian Championship. Host Vietnam won their third consecutive title after defeating the Philippines in the final. Chinese Taipei defeated Kazakhstan in the 3rd place match and took the bronze medal. Nguyễn Thị Bích Tuyền was named as the MVP of the tournament for the second time.
