This will mark the eighth year that the USA have competed in the FIVB U21 World Championship and they are still seeking their first first-ever medal. Their best finish came in 2011 when they finished fourth, followed by an 11th place finish in 2013. The 2015 edition will be the sixth consecutive World Championship that the USA has taken part in. The USA qualified for the 2015 World Championship by taking the bronze at the 2014 NORCECA Continental Championship.
