The North American Chinese Invitational Volleyball Tournament (N.A.C.I.V.T.) is held every Labor Day weekend and features men's nine-man (9-man) and women's 6's volleyball teams. The tournament is held outdoors and played on pavement, with the courts typically set-up in a large parking lot or even on the streets. It is very much a cultural phenomenon; two-thirds of the players on each team must be 100% Chinese, and the rest must be of Asian descent. The inaugural tournament was held in Boston in 1944. There are teams from Boston, Maryland, Los Angeles, Chicago, North Carolina, Houston, Montreal, New York City, Philadelphia, San Francisco, San Diego, Toronto, and Washington, D.C..
Each year there are also mini tournaments held in Toronto, New York City, and San Francisco leading up to the annual NACIVT.
The 67th NACIVT (2011) will be hosted in Montreal over the 3-day Labor Day Weekend
