Notes
edit- ^ Note that Group system was introduced in 2014 (though similar system based on FIVB ratings was used in 2013) - everything before that is considered Group I.
- ^ Since Group system was introduced statistics of only Group I Final Round is included, as this is the medal round.
- ^ Russia's total includes appearances as
Soviet Union and 
CIS.
- ^ Serbia's total includes appearances as FR Yugoslavia and Serbia and Montenegro.
- ^ It is worth mentioning that in season 1993 Italy had only 1 defeat in 20 matches, which is the only season that had as much matches in Intercontinental Round.
