The 11 teams are divided into two groups, playing a round robin within the group to determine points. The top four teams from each group will enter the semi-finals to determine positions 1-4; the next four teams will play cross-matches to determine positions 5-8 while the bottom three teams from each group will compete for positions 9-11.

This is the 4th year the AVC Challenge Cup/AVC Nations Cup has been held. In the last 2 seasons, the Vietnamese team won the championship.

In preparation for this year's tournament, the Vietnamese women's team has been training in Quang Ninh for over a month. Besides the main striker Tran Thi Thanh Thuy, who is in good physical condition and in good form and has been trusted to hold the position of captain, familiar names such as Vi Thi Nhu Quynh, Nguyen Thi Trinh, Le Thanh Thuy, and Doan Thi Lam Oanh will continue to be present.
