The 2018 FIVB Volleyball Women's Challenger Cup qualification is a series of tournaments to decide teams which will play in the 2018 FIVB Volleyball Women's Challenger Cup. The 2018 Challenger Cup will feature 6 teams. Only one place will be allocated to the hosts. The remaining 5 places will be determined by a qualification process, in which entrants from among the other teams from the five FIVB confederations will compete.[1]
