The new trophy was designed by Swiss designers Thilo Alex Brunner and Jörg Mettler of BMCO, and was first awarded to the Poland men's national team and the United States women's national team in 2014.

[1] The trophy stands 42.88 centimeters (16.88 inches) tall and weighs 9 kilograms (19.84 pounds).

The trophy’s elegant form reflects the beauty and fluidity of the volleyball game.

The seamless transition from nickel to gold, ascending from the base to the crown, symbolizes the growth and rising confidence of the winning team as they progress through each stage of the Championship.
