The FIVB Volleyball World Championship Trophy, a distinctive half nickle and half gold design, is awarded to the winners of both the FIVB Men's Volleyball World Championship and the FIVB Women's Volleyball World Championship, since 2014. Prior to that, the trophy varied each year and was given to the championship team without rotating usage.

The new trophy was designed by Swiss designers Thilo Alex Brunner and Jörg Mettler of BMCO, and was first awarded to the Poland men's national team and the United States women's national team in 2014.

Design

The trophy stands 42.88 centimeters (16.88 inches) tall and weighs 9 kilograms (19.84 pounds). Its design features 12 individual components, each representing the 12 players on a team. The trophy’s elegant form reflects the beauty and fluidity of the volleyball game. The seamless transition from nickel to gold, ascending from the base to the crown, symbolizes the growth and rising confidence of the winning team as they progress through each stage of the Championship.

Theft of the Trophy

During the trophy tour, which was displayed at Copacabana Beach in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, in 2014, both the men's and women's FIVB World Championship trophies were stolen from a van parked near the Brazilian Volleyball Confederation office while being transported back to the FIVB headquarters in Lausanne. As a result, the FIVB had to create new trophies to ensure they were available for the competition.

Winners

As of 2022, the names of two winners for the men's trophy and two winners for the women's trophy have been engraved on the base.

Men's trophy
Women's trophy
