The 2025 Women's Volleyball Copa América was the inaugural edition of the Women's Volleyball Copa América, the annual second-tier international volleyball competition organised by the Confederación Sudamericana de Voleibol (CSV) for women's national teams of South America. It was held in Betim, Brazil from 2 to 5 July 2025.[1][2]
The Copa América was announced in 2024 as a competition for teams that do not participate in the FIVB Women's Volleyball Nations League, including guest teams from North, Central America and Caribbean Volleyball Confederation (NORCECA).[3]
Argentina won the first Copa América title after finishing first of the single group. Runners-up Peru and third-place Brazil completed the podium.[4]

Brazil was announced as host country of the tournament on 30 May 2025,[6] with Betim being confirmed as host city on 12 June 2025.[1][7]
The competition was entirely played at the Ginásio Poliesportivo Divino Ferreira Braga.[8]
Teams
Five of the twelve CSV member associations entered the tournament. Initially Mexico had confirmed their presence as a NORCECA guest team, however, they had to decline their participation due to visa issues.[9]
Since Brazil's senior team were competing in the 2025 FIVB Women's Volleyball Nations League, they entered the tournament with an alternative squad composed of U23 players.[10][11]
Competition format
The competition format consisted of a single group which was played on a single round-robin basis.[12] No finals or placement matches were played. The group standing procedure was as follows:[13]
- Total number of victories (matches won, matches lost);
- Match points;
- 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
- Sets ratio;
- Points ratio;
- If the tie continues between two teams: result of the last match between the tied teams. If the tie continues between three or more teams: a new classification would be made taking into consideration only the matches involving the teams in question.
