The AVC Men's Volleyball Nations Cup (previously known as the AVC Men's Challenge Cup), is an annual international volleyball competition in Asia and Oceania contested by the senior men's national teams of the members of Asian Volleyball Confederation (AVC), one of the sport's continent governing body.
From 2023 to 2024, the winner will qualify for the FIVB Challenger Cup.
This event should not be confused with the other, more prestigious continental competition for Asian national volleyball teams, the Asian Volleyball Championship and the Asian Volleyball Cup.
The five AVC Men's Nations Cup tournaments has been won by five different national teams. Bahrain, Iraq, Kyrgyzstan, Qatar and Thailand have won once each.

History

Perspective
Originally, the tournament was awarded every two years beginning 2018. This tournament was initially set up to serve as a qualifier to the Men's Asian Volleyball Cup, which served as the tournament for the top teams of the AVC. The champions were Iraq in the 2018 edition[1] and Kyrgyzstan in the 2022 edition.[2] Both teams defeated Saudi Arabia in a tie-break final.
From 2023 to 2024, the AVC Challenge Cup has reformed from being held biennially to annually as it serve as a qualifier for the FIVB Challenger Cup.[3] Thailand were the champions in the 2023 edition after defeating Bahrain in the straight-sets final.[4] Qatar won the 2024 edition after a straight-sets victory over Pakistan in the final.[5]
Starting in 2025, the tournament is rebranded and will be known as the AVC Men's Volleyball Nations Cup. With the new format of the Nations League and the abolishment of the Challenger Cup, this tournament will be served as an annual competition for teams not participating in the VNL to earn world ranking points to increase their place in the FIVB Senior World Rankings, and possibly qualify to the future editions of the VNL. Furthermore, the champions of this tournament will qualify for the Asian Men's Volleyball Championship, starting on the 2026 edition.[6]
