The FIVB Volleyball Men's World Cup was an international volleyball competition contested by the senior men's national teams of the members of Fédération Internationale de Volleyball (FIVB), the sport's global governing body. Initially, the tournament was played in the year following the Olympic Games, except for 1973 when no tournament was held, but between 1991 and 2019, the World Cup was awarded in the year preceding the Olympic Games. The 2023 edition, however, did not take place as the qualification tournament for the 2024 Summer Olympics was not officially recognized by the FIVB as a World Cup.
The last champion was Brazil, who won their third title at the 2019 tournament. The 2019 edition of the competition involved twelve teams. The World Cup (with the exception of the 2019 edition) acted as the first qualification event for the following year's Olympic Games with the top two teams qualifying.
There have been a total of 14 World Cups, with six different national teams winning the tournament. Russia is the most successful team with six titles (four as Soviet Union). The other World Cup winners were Brazil with three titles, the United States with two titles, followed by Cuba, Italy and East Germany with one title each.
