text: # Women's European Volleyball League
  
  The Women's European Volleyball League is a continental volleyball competition for senior women's national volleyball teams of Europe, organized by the European Volleyball Confederation (CEV). Created in 2009, the competition served as a qualifying tournament for the FIVB World Grand Prix (until 2016) and its successor the FIVB Challenger Cup since 2018.
  
  This event should not be confused with the other, more prestigious, continental competition for European national volleyball teams, the European Volleyball Championship.
