The U Sports Women's Volleyball Championship is a Canadian university volleyball tournament conducted by U Sports, and determines the women's national champion. The tournament involves the champions from each of Canada's four regional sports conferences.[1] The championship trophy, first awarded in 1977, features a two-wheeled oxcart, symbolizing the pioneer era on the Red River in Manitoba.[2] The 2024 champions are the UBC Thunderbirds who have also won the most championships with a total of 14, including six in a row from 2008 to 2013.[2][3]
