The Oceania Zonal Volleyball Association (OZVA) is one of five zonal associations of governance in volleyball within the Asian Volleyball Confederation (AVC). It governs indoor volleyball and beach volleyball in Oceania.[2] OZVA consists of 20 national federation members which are full members with the Fédération Internationale de Volleyball (FIVB) and 4 associate members. Among these, 17 national federations represent the National Olympic Committees (NOCs) of their respective countries and dependent territories, allowing them to participate in the Olympic Games.[3]

OZVA consists of the national volleyball federations of Oceania and run zonal championships including the Oceania Men's Volleyball Championship and Oceania Women's Volleyball Championship. It also promotes regional volleyball, supports the creation of national federations affiliated with FIVB, ensures compliance with FIVB regulations, plans annual activities, and reports competition results to the FIVB and confederations.[4]

The current president, Hugh Graham, president of the Cook Islands Sports and National Olympic Committee, was elected as OZVA's president for the 2024–2028 term in Honolulu, Hawaii, United States, in March 2024.[5][6] His election also secured him the position of vice-president within the continental governing body, AVC.[7]
