The Dominican Republic women’s volleyball team (Queens of the Caribbean) defeated the reining USA champions during the FIVB Volleyball Nations League played in Conegliano, Italy on 30 May 2019.
With a massive 17-3 run and a 7-0 block advantage, the Dominican team took the first set with ease. The US would win the second set but then dropped the third to head to a must-win fourth set. Team USA would win the fourth set to force a tiebreaker. But it would be team Dominican Republic that claimed the important victory, 3-2 (25-10, 16-25, 25-19, 19-25, 15-11). The USA had been undefeated in the tournament until playing the Dominican Republic.

The US and the DR had met in 18 world level major championships, and the USA had won 16 and the DR two before this historic match. In the previous VNL in 2018, the USA defeated the DR in straight sets.

The DR also has also accumulated important victories over Russia and Brazil. It almost beat China. Other losses were to Italy and Serbia, with watches that ended 3-1.

The win against USA pushed the DR up from 11th to 9th place. China and the top five teams from the preliminary round of 16 teams will reach the finals to be held in China from 3-7 July with the winner receiving US$1 million.
