2023 FINA Women's Water Polo World Cup

Sports season


The 2023 FINA Women's Water Polo World Cup was the 18th edition of the tournament. It ran from 11 April to 25 June 2023.[1] The Super final took place between 23 and 25 June 2023 in Long Beach, United States.[2]

Quick Facts League, Sport ...

From this year on, the tournament was replacing the FINA Water Polo World League.[3]

The United States won their fourth straight and fifth overall title after defeating the Netherlands in the final.[4]

Format

There were two divisions. In Division 1, the top eight teams from the World Championships played. They played a round-robin in April, at pre-selected venues. All other teams could sign up in Division 2, in which each continent hosted a qualification tournament. The top two teams from the tournaments played in an intercontinental tournament. The top-six teams of Division 1 and the top-two teams from Division 2 competed in the super final, held between 23 and 25 June 2023.[5][6] At the end of the tournament, the last-ranked team was relegated to Division 2 and the winner of Division 2 moved to Division 1 for the following year. A win gave a team three points, a win after penalties two, a loss after penalites one and a loss after regular time zero points.[7]

Division 1

The draw was held on 1 December 2022.[8] The first tournament was played from 11 to 13 April in Rotterdam, Netherlands and the second tournament between 19 and 21 April 2023 in Athens, Greece.[6] The top four teams from the first tournament qualified for the super final but participated in the second tournament as well, where the last two spots were played out.[2]

Round 1

The top-two teams from both groups qualified for the super final. All teams participated in the second tournament.

All times are local (UTC+2).
