The 2025 Hawaii Rainbow Warriors volleyball team is the varsity intercollegiate volleyball program of the University of Hawaii at Manoa (UH). The Rainbow Warriors, led by 16th-year head coach Charlie Wade, played their home matches at the Stan Sheriff Center on the UH campus in the Honolulu neighborhood of Mānoa. The Rainbow Warriors, members of the Big West Conference, were picked third in the Big West preseason coaches poll, with Long Beach State selected first and UC Irvine second. Hawaiʻi entered the 2025 season looking to return to national prominence following their absence from the 2024 NCAA Tournament. The team ultimately won the Big West Conference Championship to secure an automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament. The Rainbow Warriors advanced to the national semifinals before falling to the UCLA Bruins, concluding their season.
