The 80th North American Chinese Invitational Volleyball Tournament
NY Strangers
The New York Strangers are proud to host the 80th Annual North American Chinese Invitational Volleyball Tournament (NACIVT), taking place August 29 – September 1, 2025 in New York City.
This year marks a major milestone—80 years of 9-Man tradition—and for the first time ever, the tournament will be held at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center, one of the most iconic venues in the country. We’re expecting over 200 teams to compete in this landmark event, and we can’t wait to welcome the NACIVT community back to NYC.
This will be the largest indoor venue in NACIVT history, with over 125,000 square feet of space dedicated to volleyball courts, team areas, and vendor showcases—right in the heart of Manhattan.
