The FIVB Women's Volleyball Nations League is an international volleyball competition contested by the senior women's national teams of the members of the Fédération Internationale de Volleyball, the sport's global governing body. The creation of the tournament was announced in October 2017 as a joint project of the FIVB, IMG and 21 national federations, and it replaced the World Grand Prix, which ran from 1993 to 2017. The first tournament took place between May and July 2018, with the final round in Nanjing, China, and the United States won the inaugural edition by defeating Turkey in the final. The 2020 edition was cancelled because of the COVID-19 pandemic, Italy hosted the final stage in 2021, and from 2025 the competition expanded to 18 teams. A matching men's tournament, the FIVB Men's Volleyball Nations League, exists.
