Dvv Cup Women

The DVV Cup, Women is Germany’s premier national cup competition for top-tier women’s volleyball clubs. The tournament runs in a knockout, single-elimination format, culminating in a neutral-site final; in some years a Final Four-style event is staged. It sits within the Frauen-Bundesliga season, with matches scheduled from autumn through winter and a final typically held in late winter or early spring. The DVV Cup brings together the league’s strongest teams, offering the thrill of upsets and a prestigious trophy outside the league race. Notable clubs that have contended for or won the trophy include SSC Palmberg Schwerin, Dresdner SC, VC Wiesbaden, Allianz MTV Stuttgart, and SC Potsdam, among others. Fans follow the cup for the drama of knockout clashes, a path to European qualification, and bragging rights over regional rivals, all at a neutral venue. The DVV Cup blends history with modern volleyball: intense elimination rounds, a packed schedule, and a final that delivers theatre, national pride, and one of German volleyball’s signature trophies.
