The tournament was held in Nakhon Pathom, Thailand, from 6 to 13 June 2022. The tournament was supposed to be hosted by Uzbekistan on the same dates, but due to unforeseen reasons Nakhon Pathom replaced Tashkent as the host city for the eight-day Championship. That year, the previously U17 tournament was adjusted to become an U18 championship as approved by the AVC Board of Administration.
A total of eleven teams played in the tournament, with players born on or after 1 January 2005 eligible to participate. It was originally a U-17 competition for players born on or after 2006, but as the change to a U-18 tournament proceeded, the age restriction was changed to 2005.
Qualified teams
Following AVC regulations, the maximum of 16 teams in all AVC events were selected according to the following:
1 team for the host country
10 teams based on the final standing of the previous edition
5 teams from each of 5 zones (with a qualification tournament if needed)
According to the unveiled competition schedule, all participating teams would be split into Pool A and Pool B. Teams would compete in pool round-robin preliminaries, with the top two teams in each pool advancing to the cross semifinals. Teams finishing 3rd and 4th in each pool would next compete in the classification round for the 5th–8th places, while those finishing 5th and 6th in each pool will fight for the 9th, 10th and 11th places.
Total number of victories (matches won, matches lost)
In the event of a tie, the following first tiebreaker will apply: The teams will be ranked by the most point gained per match as follows:
Match won 3–0 or 3–1: 3 points for the winner, 0 points for the loser
Match won 3–2: 2 points for the winner, 1 point for the loser
Match forfeited: 3 points for the winner, 0 points (0–25, 0–25, 0–25) for the loser
If teams are still tied after examining the number of victories and points gained, then the FIVB will examine the results in order to break the tie in the following order:
Set quotient: if two or more teams are tied on the number of points gained, they will be ranked by the quotient resulting from the division of the number of all set won by the number of all sets lost.
Points quotient: if the tie persists based on the set quotient, the teams will be ranked by the quotient resulting from the division of all points scored by the total of points lost during all sets.
If the tie persists based on the point quotient, the tie will be broken based on the team that won the match of the Round Robin Phase between the tied teams. When the tie in point quotient is between three or more teams, these teams ranked taking into consideration only the matches involving the teams in question.
