Major achievements in volleyball by nation

These are lists of achievements in major senior-level international indoor volleyball and beach volleyball tournaments organized by the Fédération Internationale de Volleyball (FIVB) according to first-place, second-place and third-place results obtained by teams representing different nations. The objective is not to create combined medal tables; the focus is on listing the best positions achieved by teams in major international tournaments, ranking the nations according to the most number of podiums accomplished by teams of these nations.

For the making of these lists, results from seven major international indoor volleyball tournaments were consulted, as follows: 1) Volleyball at the Summer Olympics (quadrennially), 2) FIVB Volleyball World Championship (quadrennially), 3) FIVB Volleyball World Cup (quadrennially), 4) FIVB Volleyball World Grand Champions Cup (quadrennially), 5) FIVB Volleyball Nations League (annually), 6) FIVB Volleyball World League (annually, defunct), 7) FIVB Volleyball World Grand Prix (annually, defunct); and results from three major international beach volleyball tournaments were consulted, as follows: 1) Beach volleyball at the Summer Olympics (quadrennially), 2) FIVB Beach Volleyball World Championships (biennially), 3) FIVB Beach Volleyball World Tour Finals (annually).

Medals earned by athletes from defunct National Olympic Committees (NOCs) or historical teams are NOT merged with the results achieved by their immediate successor states. The International Olympic Committee (IOC) does not combine medals of these nations.

The tables are pre-sorted by total number of first-place results, second-place results and third-place results, respectively. When equal ranks are given, nations are listed in alphabetical order.
