The 24 teams were divided into six groups of four teams each in a round-robin format. The six winners of each group and the two best runners-up would qualify for the quarter-finals. A country's position within its group was determined by ties won, then matches won, and then sets and games won percentages unless two or more teams were tied, in which case a head-to-head win took precedence over matches won.
