The FIVB Volleyball Women's World Cup is an international volleyball competition contested by the senior women's national teams of the members of Fédération Internationale de Volleyball (FIVB), the sport's global governing body. Initially the tournament was played in the year following the Olympic Games, but since 1991 the World Cup has been awarded in the year preceding the Olympic Games. The current champion is China, which won its fifth title at the 2019 tournament.
The historical format of the competition involves 12 teams, including the automatically qualifying host nation Japan, competing in the tournament phase for the title at venues within the host nation over a period of about two weeks. The World Cup (with exception of the 2019 edition) acts as the first qualification event for the following year's Olympic Games with the top two teams qualifying.
The 14 World Cup tournaments have been won by six different national teams. China have won five times. The other World Cup winners are Cuba, with four titles; Italy, with two titles; Japan and Russia (as Soviet Union) with one title each.
This tournament should not be confused with the FIVB Volleyball Women's World Championship.
