Cuba women's national volleyball team

The Cuba women's national volleyball team was the first team to break the domination of the USSR and Japan in the world women's volleyball by winning the 1978 World Women's Volleyball Championship.

The Cuba women's national volleyball team dominated the world in the last decade of the 20th century (1991–2000), winning eight times in a row as FIVB World Champions in straight (6th World Cup in 1991, Barcelona Olympic Games in 1992, 12th World Championship in 1994, 7th World Cup in 1995, Atlanta Olympic Games in 1996, 13th World Championship in 1998, 8th World Cup in 1999, Sydney Olympic Games in 2000).

The team's nickname was Las Espectaculares Morenas del Caribe ("The Spectacular Caribbean Girls" in English).
