The Ukrainian Women's Volleyball Super League (Ukrainian: Волейбольна Суперліга) is the highest professional women's volleyball league in Ukraine. It is organized and administrated by the Ukrainian Volleyball Federation (FVU).
History
The dissolution of the Soviet Union in late 1991 brought an end to all sports leagues played in the Soviet Union, including the Soviet Women's Volleyball Championship, which existed since 1933. The then newly formed Ukrainian Volleyball Federation (FVU) created a national league in 1992 which was called the Premier League (Ukrainian: Волейбольна Вища ліга). In 2000, the name was changed to Super League with the second-tier league being renamed Premier League. There is a relegation and promotion system between the two leagues.
The best teams of the Super League are allocated places to compete in European club competition tournaments organized by the Confédération Européenne de Volleyball (CEV).
