Number of teams	32

The 2019–20 Women's CEV Cup is the 48th edition of the European CEV Cup volleyball club tournament, the former "Top Teams Cup".

Format

The tournament is played on a knockout format, with 32 teams participating. Initially 27 teams were allocated direct vacancies to enter the competition, with another 5 teams joining the competition via Champions League qualification. On 26 June 2019, a drawing of lots in Luxembourg City, Luxembourg, determined the team's pairing for each match. Each team plays a home and an away match with result points awarded for each leg (3 points for 3–0 or 3–1 wins, 2 points for 3–2 win, 1 point for 2–3 loss). After two legs, the team with the most result points advances to the next round. In case the teams are tied after two legs, a Golden Set is played immediately at the completion of the second leg. The Golden Set winner is the team that first obtains 15 points, provided that the points difference between the two teams is at least 2 points (thus, the Golden Set is similar to a tiebreak set in a normal match).

Participating teams

• Drawing of lots for the 32 participating teams was held in Luxembourg City, Luxembourg on 26 June 2019.
• 27 teams allocated vacancies spots and 5 teams qualified as Champions League qualification losers.
