The Women's Asian U18 Volleyball Championship is a biennial competition contested by the under-18 women's national teams of the Asian Volleyball Confederation as part of the Asian Youth Volleyball Championship. The competition broke its biennial design only in 2008, a year after it held its 2007 competition in Kamphaeng Phet, and in 2018, following the holding of a competition in 2017 in Chongqingafter the tournament skipped the year 2016. It formerly carried the title Asian Youth Women's Volleyball Championship (in the tournament's 1st, 2nd and 3rd editions), the Asian Youth Girls' Volleyball Championship (in the 4th-9th editions), and the Asian Girls' Volleyball Championship (in the 10th and 11th editions, with the difference that the 10th edition, like the 9th edition, labeled the tournament as a U17 championship, while the 11th edition touted it as a U18 one, like the 8th edition).
In 2018, the championship's 12th edition now carried the title Women's Asian U17 Volleyball Championship, which, despite its use of the gendered possessive determiner "Women's" for its title, had lowered the age group back to U17. The tournament's age group would be reverted back to U18 in 2022, however, in accordance with decisions made during the March 21–22, 2022, FIVB Board of Administration meeting, which considered it important for the representative women’s age-group teams from Asia to compete in the FIVB Age Group Championships in 2023. The board announced the adjustment of all 2022 Age Group Championships to align themselves with the 2023 FIVB age-group categories per gender of Under-19 and Under-21 for both genders, and thus the top 4 teams of the 2022 Women's Asian U18 Volleyball Championship qualified for the 2023 FIVB Volleyball Girls' U19 World Championship.
Since it started in 1997, the Women's Asian U17/U18 Volleyball Championship tournaments have been won by only two countries. Japan have won nine times, including in 2022, while China have won five titles.
