Host selection
On 19 January 2019, FIVB announced that Netherlands and Poland were selected as dual hosts for this event. It is the first time that the women's World Championship has been hosted by two countries.
The host countries Netherlands and Poland automatically qualified for the competition as well as the current world champions Serbia. The top two teams from each of the 2021 Continental Championships secured qualification. The final 11 places belonged to top 11 teams as per FIVB World Ranking who had not yet qualified.
On 1 March 2022, FIVB declared Russia and Belarus ineligible to compete in international and continental competitions due to the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine. As a result, Russia were out of the championship. After Russia was removed from the competition, Croatia was invited to compete as the next highest ranked team in the World Ranking.
Competed as Soviet Union from 1952 to 1990 (10 times); 7 appearances as Russia. Russia was suspended to compete under it national title due to violating WADA regulation. Later, the team was removed from all FIVB and continental competitions due to 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine.
Competed as East Germany from 1956 to 1990 (7 times) and as West Germany from 1956 to 1990 (8 times); 7 appearances as Germany.
Competed as Czechoslovakia from 1952 to 1986 (8 times); 3 appearances as Czech Republic.
Turkey qualified from the continental championship due to the runners-up, Serbia, have qualified as defending champions.
In the first round, the 24 teams were spread across four pools of six teams playing in a round-robin system. The top four teams from each pool advanced to the second round.
Second round
In the second round, the 16 teams were allocated in two pools of eight teams (top teams from first round pools A and D in one and top teams from pools B and C in the other). Once again a round-robin system was used in each pool, teams coming from the same first round pool (therefore already played each other) only played against opponents from a different first round pool. The second round standings took the results in the first and second rounds into account. The top four teams of each group advanced to the final round.
Final round
The top four teams of each pool played in quarterfinals. The winners advanced to semifinals. The semifinals winners advanced to compete for the World Championship title. The losers faced each other in the third place match.
Pools composition
First round
Teams were seeded in the first two positions of each pool following the Serpentine system according to their FIVB World Ranking as per end of 2021. FIVB reserved the right to seed the hosts as heads of pool A and B. The better ranked hosted team (10) allocated to pool A, and another team (12) allocated to pool B. All teams not seeded were drawn to take other available positions in the remaining lines following the World Ranking.
Total number of victories (matches won, matches lost)
In the event of a tie, the following first tiebreaker will apply: The teams will be ranked by the most point gained per match as follows:
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
If teams are still tied after examining the number of victories and points gained, then the FIVB will examine the results in order to break the tie in the following order:
Set quotient: if two or more teams are tied on the number of points gained, they will be ranked by the quotient resulting from the division of the number of all set won by the number of all sets lost.
Points quotient: if the tie persists based on the set quotient, the teams will be ranked by the quotient resulting from the division of all points scored by the total of points lost during all sets.
If the tie persists based on the point quotient, the tie will be broken based on the team that won the match of the Round Robin Phase between the tied teams. When the tie in point quotient is between three or more teams, these teams ranked taking into consideration only the matches involving the teams in question.
