The tournament was founded in 2018 and is held every two years. The first edition was planned to take place in Hong Kong, China, but was not held due to unforeseen reasons. The second edition two years later was also cancelled because of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The winner of the Cup will receive a place at the FIVB Women's Challenger Cup. VNS
