AVC Girls' U18 Volleyball Championship

The AVC Girls' U18 Volleyball Championship is an international volleyball competition in Asia and Oceania contested by the under-18 women's national teams of the members of Asian Volleyball Confederation (AVC). First held in 1997, the tournament is held biennially and serves as a qualification tournament for the FIVB Volleyball Girls' U19 World Championship.

The competition broke its biennial design only in 2008, a year after it held its 2007 competition in Kamphaeng Phet, and in 2018, following the holding of a competition in 2017 in Chongqing after the tournament skipped the year 2016. It formerly carried the title Asian Youth Women's Volleyball Championship (in the tournament's 1st, 2nd and 3rd editions), the Asian Youth Girls' Volleyball Championship (in the 4th-9th editions), and the Asian Girls' Volleyball Championship (in the 10th and 11th editions, with the difference that the 10th edition, like the 9th edition, labeled the tournament as a U17 championship, while the 11th edition touted it as a U18 one, like the 8th edition).

14 of the championship's tournaments have been won by two different national teams. Japan have won nine times, and China have won five times.
