# 2021 FIVB Women's Volleyball Nations League

The 2021 FIVB Women's Volleyball Nations League was the third edition of the FIVB Women's Volleyball Nations League, an annual women's international volleyball tournament. The 2021 version of VNL was scheduled to start earlier than the previous edition due to the 2020 Summer Olympics in July. The competition was held in between May and June 2021, and the final round took place in Rimini Fiera, Rimini, Italy.
United States won their third title in the competition, outlasting Brazil in thrilling four sets on the final. Turkey grabbed the bronze medal after sweeping Japan in three sets. Michelle Bartsch-Hackley from USA claimed her second MVP title of the tournament.

## Qualification

| Week 1 25–27 May | Week 2 31 May–2 Jun | Week 3 6–8 Jun | Week 4 12–14 Jun | Week 5 18–20 Jun | Week 6 24–25 Jun |
| 24 matches | 24 matches | 24 matches | 24 matches | 24 matches | 4 matches |

## Pool standing procedure

* Total number of victories (matches won, matches lost)
* In the event of a tie, the following first tiebreaker will apply: The teams will be ranked by the most points gained per match as follows:
** Match won 3–0 or 3–1: 3 points for the winner, 0 points for the loser
** Match won 3–2: 2 points for the winner, 1 point for the loser
** Match forfeited: 3 points for the winner, 0 points (0–25, 0–25, 0–25) for the loser
* If teams are still tied after examining the number of victories and points gained, then the FIVB will examine the results in order to break the tie in the following order:
** Sets quotient: if two or more teams are tied on the number of points gained, they will be ranked by the quotient resulting from the division of the number of all sets won by the number of all sets lost.
** Points quotient: if the tie persists based on the sets quotient, the teams will be ranked by the quotient resulting from the division of all points scored by the total of points lost during all sets.
** If the tie persists based on the points quotient, the tie will be broken based on the team that won the match of the Round Robin Phase between the tied teams. When the tie in points quotient is between three or more teams, these teams ranked taking into consideration only the matches involving the teams in question.

## Squads

The 16 national teams involved in the tournament were required to register a squad of 25 players, which every week's 14-player roster must be selected from. Each country must declare its 14-player roster two days before the start of each week's round-robin competition.

## Preliminary round

* All times are Central European Summer Time (UTC+02:00).
