Continental qualification tournaments
editAVC (Asia and Oceania)
editFIVB selected South Korea to represent the AVC for the 2019 Challenger Cup via the FIVB World Ranking as of 1 October 2018[1] because less than 4 teams have registered to participate in the qualifier. But, South Korea refused to participate. So the AVC–CSV playoff was canceled and the representatives from CSV directly qualified for the 2019 Challenger Cup.
CAVB (Africa)
editFIVB selected a team to represent the CAVB for the 2019 Challenger Cup via the FIVB World Ranking as of 1 October 2018 because CAVB did not host the qualifier.
