41 CEV national teams entered qualification. The teams were distributed according to their position in the CEV Senior Women's Confederation Rankings as of 1 January 2013 using the serpentine system for their distribution. (Rankings shown in brackets) Pools composition was determined by taking into consideration – as far as possible – the geographical location of the various countries. Teams ranked 1–12 do not compete in the first and second rounds, and automatically qualify for the third round.[2] (Russia and Germany later qualified through European Championship)
