The Asian Men's Volleyball Championship is an international volleyball competition in Asia and Oceania contested by the senior men's national teams of the members of Asian Volleyball Confederation (AVC), the sport's continent governing body. The initial gap between championships was four years, but since 1987 they have been awarded every two years. The current champion is Japan, which won its tenth title at the 2023 tournament.

History

The first tournament was held in 1975 with the participation of seven national teams. Japan captured the first gold. The next edition was held in 1979, were won by China and Wang Jiawei hailed as the first ever MVP of the tournament. However, in 1980s Japan managed to return at first position. They captured another Asian gold in 1983 and repeated this success at next edition in 1897. In 1989, twice runners-up South Korea won its maiden Asian title at the home tournament. The three teams from East Asia dominated the tournament for next three decades.

The domination of East Asian teams was ceased in 2007 when Australia unprecedentally won their first ever title. The next tournament was won again by Japan. In 2011, Iran took their first ever title at the home tournament and repeated this success at the next edition in 2013.

The 2015 Asian Championship took place again in Tehran, Iran. It was won by Japan who managed to beat home favorites – Iran – in 3–1 victory. They also won the next tournament.

The 2019 Asian Championship was hosted by Iran for the fourth time and they won and captured their 3rd title after defeating Australia in 3–0 victory. For the first time in the tournament, the 2021 edition was held in two venues in Japan. In the final match held in Chiba, Iran finally took their revenge against home favorites – Japan – in 3–0 victory and won their fourth Asian title.

The 2023 Asian Championship was held in Iran for the fifth time. However, the host and two-time defending champions failed to defend their title, having defeated by a young Japanese squad who had just captured historic bronze medal in the 2023 Nations League.

The 22 Asian Championship tournaments have been won by five different national teams. Japan have won ten times. The other Asian Championship winners are South Korea and Iran, with four titles each; China, with three titles; and Australia, with one title.

China, Japan, and South Korea co-holds record for the participation at the Asian Championships (22 times).
