The University Athletic Association of the Philippines (UAAP) volleyball tournament is divided into four divisions, namely men's, women's, boys' and girls'. Volleyball is a mandatory sport in the women's division. The UAAP volleyball tournament was held in the first semester of the school year until the UAAP Board decided to move it to the second semester in Season 69 (school year 2006–2007). This decision was made so that the games can be televised to improve its popularity.

Tournament format
editThe tournament begins with a double round robin group stage, where a team meets its opponent twice in a season. A semi-finals round composed of the top four teams follows, after which the top two teams meet in the final in a best-of-three series.
In the semi-finals, the top four teams based on team standings (and tie-breakers, if applicable) from the group stage battle for a Final Four slot. The two top seeds have a twice-to-beat advantage, that is they must be beaten twice in order to be eliminated. The lower seeds, on the other hand, are eliminated when they are defeated once. The surviving teams face off in the finals in a best-of-three series, where the team which notches two wins takes the championship.
If a team wins all of the games in the group stage, the stepladder format is use, where the unbeaten team has a bye to the finals. The third and fourth seeds battle in a single elimination game; the winner of that game will face the second seed which have a twice-to-beat advantage. The surviving team meets the first seed team in the finals. From 2012 to 2015, the first seed team holds a thrice-to-beat advantage (or an automatic 1–0 lead in the finals in a best-of-five series) for sweeping the group stage. From 2016 to 2022, the finals was changed to a best-of-three series, while the rest remains the same. Since 2023, however, the stepladder semi-finals format have removed the twice-to-beat incentives for the second-seeded team, while the unbeaten team still advances to the finals in a best-of-three series.[1]

Final Four
editThis section needs additional citations for verification. (May 2024) |
The Final Four for Volleyball was instituted in Season 56 (1993–94). That year, the UAAP declared that there will be a Final Four in all mandatory sports. In 2004, there was no Final Four since the DLSU Lady Spikers swept the double round-robin and were awarded the championship outright, becoming the only volleyball varsity team in the UAAP to win the championship outright with a 14-0 group stage sweep record. In 2007, following the loss of the UE Red Warriors to the DLSU Green Archers in the Finals series of the UAAP Season 70 basketball tournaments despite UE's group stage sweep, the UAAP Final Four format was modified for elimination sweep cases.
The stepladder format was introduced beginning 2008 for all UAAP sports. Until 2015, in the earlier stepladder format, the no. 1 seed team was automatically qualified to a Finals berth with a thrice-to-beat incentive (and thus reformatting the best-of-three series to a 1-0 incentive lead in a best-of-five series). The other three teams in the top four rankings underwent play-off games to determine which will qualify for a Finals berth. Starting 2016, the thrice-to-beat incentive was removed, reverting to a best-of-three championship series for all sporting events in the UAAP (except football, which is a single-game UAAP championship match). Starting 2023, the twice-to-beat incentive for second-seeded teams in the stepladder format was removed. Other Final Four rules still remain in place.
The UST men's volleyball team's 14-0 perfect group stage record in 2009 was the first to be recorded in UAAP history, but they played based on the regular Final Four format, becoming the only UAAP varsity team to achieve a perfect 17–0 season sweep record. As of 2024, the UST Growling Tigers, DLSU Lady Spikers, the ADMU Blue Eagles (men's and women's volleyball teams), and the NU Bulldogs (men's and women's volleyball teams) achieved the 14-0 elimination sweeps record in the Final Four era of the UAAP collegiate volleyball. The DLSU Lady Spikers is currently the only UAAP collegiate volleyball team to complete multiple season-long elimination sweeps within the 2008–present form of the Final Four era, having achieved it twice and currently holding the longest ongoing appearance in the Final Four of UAAP collegiate volleyball (since 2009).
In 2014 and 2015, ADMU emerged as the lowest Final Four-seeded volleyball team to ever win the UAAP championship (where they played through the stepladder playoffs format and won over 5 knockout games) as well as the first volleyball varsity team in UAAP history to both win the championship and achieve a perfect 16–0 season sweeps record (from group stage playoffs to championship series), respectively. ADMU also became the first UAAP collegiate team to achieve both the 14-0 group stage and 16–0 season sweeps records for both men's and women's volleyball teams (each at least once), after the former achieved this feat in 2017.
In 2022, NU became the first volleyball varsity team in the UAAP since the COVID-19 pandemic to both win the championship and achieve a perfect 16–0 season sweeps record after ending their 65-year volleyball championship drought in the women's division. In 2023, NU became the first school in UAAP history to record season sweeps records in all of the league's 4 divisions of the volleyball tournament after the men's team won their third consecutive (and fifth overall) championship and achieved a perfect 16–0 season sweeps record. In 2024, the UST Growling Tigers became the lowest Final Four-seeded volleyball team to ever qualify to the UAAP Finals.

Season rankings
editThe volleyball tournaments in Juniors' division started in Season 57 (1994–1995). The number of schools participating in the girls' division increased to six in Season 76 (2013–14) when Adamson University fielded a team. In Season 77 (2014–15), the number of schools participating in the boys' and girls' divisions increased to seven each as FEU fielded a team in both divisions.
Below are rankings per division per team in the Final Four era:
