Major achievements in volleyball by nation
These are lists of achievements in major senior-level international indoor volleyball, beach volleyball and sitting volleyball tournaments 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.
Results
For the making of these lists, results from following major international tournaments were consulted:
- FIVB: Fédération Internationale de Volleyball
- IOC: International Olympic Committee
- IPC: International Paralympic Committee
- WPV: World ParaVolley
Medals earned by athletes from defunct National Olympic Committees (NOCs) and National Paralympic Committees (NPCs) or historical teams are NOT merged with the results achieved by their immediate successor states. The International Olympic Committee (IOC) and International Paralympic Committee (IPC) do NOT combine medals of these nations or teams.[1][2]
The conventions used on these lists are: M for Men's tournament, and W for Women's tournament.
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.
