The Liga Argentina de Voleibol – Serie A1 is the top level of the Argentine men's volleyball league system. It is organized by the Asociación de Clubes Liga Argentina de Voleibol. The Serie A1 has promotion and relegation with the Serie A2, the league immediately below.
The league was founded in 1996 under the name Liga Argentina de Clubes, and was organized by the Federación Argentina de Voleibol. 12 teams participated in the first season of the league, 7 from Buenos Aires and 5 from the rest of the country. Peñarol won the first season, defeating Boca Juniors in the final. However, the club's players were unable to secure their unpaid salaries until 8 years later, when they did so through the judicial process.
Overall, Club Ciudad de Bolívar has been the most successful team. Bolívar joined the Liga Argentina de Voleibol for the 2002–03 season, supported by Argentine TV host and entrepreneur Marcelo Tinelli. Since then, the team has won 6 titles, including a run of four consecutive wins.
