A universal plug and play quality of service (UPnP QoS) network system and a method of reserving a path and resource thereof are provided. In order to set a path from a source device to a target device and to clearly control reservation of network resources for setting the path, the UPnP QoS network system includes: one or more UPnP QoS execution devices collecting and providing network status information and performing QoS for a service requested by reserving network resources based on path information and resource reservation information; and one or more UPnP QoS management devices acquiring and providing the path information and the resource reservation information to the UPnP QoS execution device by considering a QoS rank for the requested service and the network status information provided by the UPnP QoS execution device. Accordingly, since the path calculated by the UPnP QoS management device is the same as the path through which the UPnP QoS execution device reserves the network resources, it is possible to reserve suitable network resources and to provide stable QoS.
