The top 2 teams qualified for the FIVB Volleyball Women's U21 World Championship.The current champion is Japan, which won its seventh title at the 2022 tournament.

Formerly, the championship was entitled Asian Women's U19 Volleyball Championship, but in accordance with the FIVB Board of Administration Meeting on 21–22 March 2022, which announced to align the FIVB age group categories per gender to Under–19 and Under–21 for both genders, the adjustment of 2022 Age Group Championships has also been considered important for representative women’s age group teams from Asia to compete in the FIVB Age Group Championships in 2023.

The 20 Asian Championship tournaments have been won by three different national teams. China have won twelve times. The other Asian Championship winners are Japan, with seven titles; and South Korea, with one title.
