The Southeast Asian Volleyball League, also known as SEA V.League (formerly known as ASEAN Grand Prix), is a series of international volleyball tournaments featuring teams from Southeast Asia.
History
Plans of a regional women's volleyball league in Southeast Asia was first conceived in 2013 when AVC secretary-general Shanrit Wongprasert of Thailand met with officials of the Larong Volleyball sa Pilipinas, the national volleyball association of the Philippines. The league was proposed to adopt a home and away format as an effort to promote women's volleyball in the region.{{cite news|last1=Manicad|first1=Julius|title=Southeast Asian club league in the pipeline|url=https://volleyverse.com/volleyball/super-liga/southeast-asian-club-league-in-the-pipeline/|access-date=26 December 2016|work=Volleyverse|date=21 March 2016}}
SportsCore Event Management and Consultancy, Inc., the Philippine-based organizer of the Philippine Super Liga, along with club leagues from Indonesia, Thailand and Vietnam, was reportedly backing such plans. By July 2015, only "finishing touches" are yet to be made which includes the mechanics and official name of the tournament.{{cite news|title=Superliga eyes formation of Southeast Asian meet|url=http://www.malaya.com.ph/business-news/sports/%E2%80%8Bsuperliga-eyes-formation-southeast-asian-meet|access-date=26 December 2016|work=Malaya Business Insight|date=7 July 2015}}{{Dead link|date=September 2019 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}
In December 2016, it was reported that the inaugural edition of the tournament was reportedly to be named as the "Southeast Asian SuperLiga" it was planned to be held from September 14 to 17, 2017.{{cite news|last1=Noguera|first1=Emil|title=PH Superliga braces for busy 2017|url=http://www.manilatimes.net/ph-superliga-braces-busy-2017/303794/|access-date=26 December 2016|publisher=The Manila Times|date=26 December 2016}} In January 2017, the tournament's name reportedly became the ASEAN Grand Prix.{{cite news|last1=Reyes|first1=Marc Anthony|title=PSL serves up Asean Grand Prix this September|url=http://sports.inquirer.net/234135/psl-serves-asean-grand-prix-september|access-date=5 January 2017|publisher=Philippine Daily Inquirer|date=5 January 2017}}
The ASEAN Grand Prix was first held in 2019. Two separate tournaments was held in Thailand and the Philippines with Thailand winning the title for both competitions.{{cite web |title=All set for SAT Thailand Volleyball Invitation in Nakhon Ratchasima |url=https://asianvolleyball.net/new/all-set-for-sat-thailand-volleyball-invitation-in-nakhon-ratchasima/ |access-date=11 September 2022 |website=Asian Volleyball Confederation |publisher=Preechachan |date=19 September 2019}}{{cite web |title=Thailand Capture Back-to-back Asean Grand Prix Titles |url=https://asianvolleyball.net/new/thailand-capture-back-to-back-asean-grand-prix-titles/ |access-date=11 September 2022 |website=Asian Volleyball Confederation |publisher=Preechachan |date=7 October 2019}}
The series returned in 2022 as the ASEAN Grand Prix Women's Volleyball Invitation with a tournament scheduled in Thailand. A men's tournament was planned to be held in Indonesia and the Philippines as well such plan did not come to fruition.{{cite news |title=Thailand, Vietnam to Fight it Out in Highly-Anticipated Clash For Eventual Title in 2nd ASEAN Grand Prix Women's Volleyball Invitation |url=https://asianvolleyball.net/new/vietnam-indonesia-philippines-and-hosts-thailand-set-to-renew-rivalries-in-2nd-asean-grand-prix-womens-volleyball-invitation/ |access-date=11 September 2022 |publisher=Asian Volleyball Confederation |date=7 September 2022}} Thailand defended their AGP title after sweeping the three teams at the 2022 tournament.
From 2023, the tournament was renamed to Southeast Asian Volleyball League (SEA V.League). Men's tournament also made inaugural edition in 2023.{{Cite web |last=Bas |date=2023-02-20 |title=ไทยเจ้าภาพทีมหญิง! อาเซียน กรังด์ปรีซ์ เปลี่ยนชื่อเป็น "ซี วี.ลีก" ตบสนั่น ส.ค.นี้ |url=https://thethaiger.com/th/news/780873/ |access-date=2023-06-26 |website=Thaiger ข่าวไทย |language=th}}
In 2024, a new tournament named SEA V.League Challenge was created for the men's division, which includes some other national teams in Southeast Asia (Cambodia, Laos, Malaysia, and Singapore). The winner of SEA V.League Challenge will earn the right to participate in the next edition of SEA V.League, replacing the last placed team in the recent edition of SEA V.League.{{Cite web |last=Phạm Phương |date=2024-04-08 |title=Giải bóng chuyền SEA V.League chốt thời điểm trở lại Việt Nam, thêm 4 nước Đông Nam Á gia nhập |url=https://webthethao.com.vn/bong-chuyen-viet-nam/giai-bong-chuyen-sea-vleague-chot-thoi-diem-tro-lai-viet-nam-them-4-nuoc-dong-nam-a-gia-nhap-pqewcRaIg.htm |access-date=2024-05-09 |website=webthethao.com.vn |language=vi}}
