The 2018 FIVB Women's Volleyball Nations League was the inaugural edition of the FIVB Women's Volleyball Nations League, a new annual international women's volleyball tournament contested by 16 national teams that replaced the former World Grand Prix in the international calendar. It was held between May and July 2018, and the final round took place at the Nanjing Olympic Sports Centre in Nanjing, China.
Six-time World Grand Prix winners, United States won the inaugural editions after defeating Turkey in the final. This was Turkey's first ever final on a senior world-level premier competition (World Championship, World Cup, Summer Olympic Games and the aforementioned Grand Prix). Reigning Olympic champions and host nation, China defeated 12-time Grand Prix champions Brazil in the third place match. Michelle Bartsch-Hackley was elected the MVP of the tournament.
Argentina was the last placed challenger team after the preliminary round and would be replaced by Challenger Cup winners Bulgaria in the 2019 edition.
