Beach volleyball at the 2009 Jeux de la Francophonie

The men's and women's beach volleyball contests at the 2009 Jeux de la Francophonie were held between 28 September and 4 October. The venue for the competition was Byblos beach in northern Beirut.[1] Canada and France were the men's and women's tournament winners respectively. The host, Lebanon, entered two separate teams into both the men's and women's tournament. The competition was a demonstration sport at the 2009 edition of the Games, thus the medals awarded did not count towards the countries' overall totals.
