List of FIVB Volleyball Women's World Championship finals

The FIVB Volleyball Women's World Championship is an international volleyball competition established in 1952. It is contested by the women's national teams of the members of Fédération Internationale de Volleyball (FIVB), the sport's global governing body. The tournament has taken place every four years. The most recent World Championship, hosted by Italy in 2014, was won by the United States, who beat China 3–1.[1][2]

Just like the men's tournament the World Championship final match is the last of the competition, and the result determines which country is declared world champions.
