The result of the debutants was the 4th place among 5 teams. Since then, the Liechtenstein volleyball players have participated in most of these tournaments (except for 2013). Since 1994, the Liechtenstein national team has been a regular participant in the European Championships in the small nations division and has won the bronze medal only once in 2004.
In 2013, the Liechtenstein national team tried its hand for the first time in an official tournament of a higher rank, having entered the qualifying tournament of the World Championship, but quite expectedly could not oppose its rivals in the group Slovakia, Greece and Austria, losing to them all with the same score of 0:3 and failing to score more than 14 points in a set. Characterizing modern women's volleyball in the country, which is one of the smallest in Europe, Liechtenstein is one of the three member countries of the European Volleyball Confederation, where the national championship is not held (besides Monaco and Andorra), and Liechtenstein teams (6 in total, representing 2 clubs) play in different divisions of the Swiss championship.
