### Notes

    $^a$ The Netherlands originally won the CEV Continental Cup. However, there was no athlete who met the requirements set by the Dutch NOC. Therefore, the NOC forfeited quota spot, and the Czech Republic as the runners-up received the reallocated quota spot.

## Format

The 24 teams were split into six pools of four teams. After a round-robin the top two teams and the two best third-placed teams advanced to the knockout stage. The other four third-placed teams played in a "lucky loser" round to determine the last two qualifying teams. From there on, a knockout stage was used.
A win was awarded two match points, while a loss was awarded one match point. In the case of a tie in match points, the following tiebreaker criteria was used: Between two teams:
* Higher rally points ratio in all matches.
* If still tied, winner of head-to-head match.
Between three teams:
* Higher rally points ratio in matches between tied teams.
* If still tied, higher rally points ratio in all matches.
* If still tied, the higher tournament seeding established at the General Technical Meeting.
