FIVB Youth and Junior World Rankings

The FIVB Youth and Junior World Rankings is a ranking system for men's and women's age-group (U- categories) national teams in volleyball. The teams of the member nations of Fédération Internationale de Volleyball (FIVB), volleyball's world governing body, are ranked based on their ranking in each FIVB appointed international tournaments, like the previous senior world ranking system. The rankings are used in international competitions to define the seeded teams and arrange them in pools. Specific procedures for seeding and pooling are established by the FIVB in each competition's formula, but the method usually employed is the serpentine system.

• FIVB Youth World Rankings for boy's under-19 and women's under-18

while FIVB under-23 World Rankings are dissolved.
