At the 1904 Summer Olympics, a water polo tournament was contested. Only American contestants participated, three club teams of 7 players each entered. A German team tried to enter, but its entry was refused because the players did not play for the same club. The event took place in a pond in Forest Park, the location of both the Olympics and the World's Fair. Previously the IOC and International Swimming Federation (FINA) considered water polo event as part of unofficial program in 1904. However in July 2021 after accepting the recommendation of Olympic historian Bill Mallon, IOC recognized water polo event along with several others as an official event of the 1904 Olympic program.
The water polo tournament at the 1984 Summer Olympics was held from 1 to 10 August 1984, at the Raleigh Runnels Memorial Pool in Malibu, California. The tournament featured 12 teams, playing two rounds of round-robin play: preliminaries and finals.
Water polo has been part of the Summer Olympics program since the second games, in 1900. A women's water polo tournament was introduced for the 2000 Summer Olympics. Hungary has been the most successful country in men's tournament, while the United States is the only team to win multiple times at the women's tournament since its introduction. Italy is the first and only country to win both the men's and women's water polo tournaments.
