History

As the birthplace of volleyball, the United States founded the first association to regulate the sport. The United States Volleyball Association was formed in 1927, and was the founding member of FIVB in 1947.
However, by the time of volleyball's international growth in the 1940s, the U.S. was no longer a major power. They competed in the inaugural volleyball Olympic tournament in 1964. The U.S. returned to the elite in the 1980s, winning the FIVB World Championship in 1986 in Paris, as well as four golds at the Pan American Games and eight at the NORCECA Championships. Of the nine times that the U.S. have competed at the World Cup, they have finished fourth five times, most recently in 2007. They won the event in 1985, and last time out in 2011 they finished in sixth place, eight points away from the medal positions. The team was a bronze medalist at the World Championships in 1994. Four years prior, in Italy, they finished sixth. Of the 14 times the United States have qualified for this competition, they have finished in the top 10 on eight occasions.
The U.S. won the World Cup in 1985 and the World Championship in 1986. The U.S. team clinched its first Olympic gold medal in 20 years when they defeated Brazil 3–1 to take gold at Beijing 2008. The team failed to defend their title in 2012, losing 3–0 to Italy in the quarterfinals for an equal-fifth finish. The U.S. won the 2015 World Cup title, where they got the first Rio 2016 Olympic qualification ticket. In September 2015 U.S. national team took part in 2015 World Cup. American players won 10 of 11 matches (the same result as Poland and Italy) and lost only to Poland (1–3). On September 23, 2015 they played their last game at the World Cup and defeated Argentina (3–1). The U.S. won the World Cup on a points tie-breaker and qualified for the 2016 Summer Olympics. It was their second victory in World Cup tournament (previous in 1985).
In the 2018 FIVB Volleyball Men's Nations League, the inaugural edition replacing the World League, the U.S. national team defeated the reigning Olympic champions and 9-time World League winners Brazil in straight sets for the bronze medal.
