The FIVB Women's Volleyball Club World Championship is an international women's club volleyball competition organised by the Fédération Internationale de Volleyball (FIVB), the sport's global governing body. The competition was first contested in 1991 in Brazil. It was not held between 1995 and 2009, but since 2010, the competition has been held every year, and has been hosted by Qatar, Switzerland, the Philippines, Japan, China and Turkey. The competition was held in Zhejiang Province of China in 2018 and 2019. After the 2020 championship was cancelled due to corona virus pandemic, the competition was held in Turkey in 2021.
The current champions are Italy's Savino Del Bene Scandicci, who defeated Italy's Imoco Volley Conegliano 3–1 in the final of the 2025 edition, to win their first title in the competition.

Format The competition formula of the FIVB Women's Volleyball Club World Championship has been constantly changed to fit the different number of teams that participate in each edition.
In general, the format of the tournament involves eight teams competing for the title at venues within the host nation over a period of about one week; the winners of that year's AVC Champions League (Asia), African Clubs Championship (Africa), South American Volleyball Club Championship (South America) and CEV Champions League (Europe), along with the host city's team and a nominated team from North America. The number of teams is increased through wild card invitees.
Starting from 2024, the qualification for the Club World Championships will be as follows: two places per continent for Europe, Asia, and South America; one place for Africa; and finally, a club from the host nation will be granted a place. This change aims to ensure the fair representation from different continents and provides an opportunity for the host country to participate in the tournament.
