History

USA Water Polo was formed in 1978 after a new law designated the United States Olympic Committee as the governing body for all Olympic activity in the United States. Water polo in the United States had previously been controlled by the Amateur Athletic Union. The organization is now responsible for Olympic development.

The United States has participated in Olympic water polo since the 1904 Summer Olympics in St. Louis, the second Olympic Games to host a water polo tournament. The 1904 squad won the gold medal, the only gold the US has earned in water polo. Since 1904 the US has won another six Olympic medals (1924, 1932, 1972, 1984, 1988, 2008).

The US has fielded a women's national team since the 1970s. The team has participated in every Olympic Games since the inaugural women's competition in the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney, and have medalled in all five tournaments.

USA Water Polo also oversees junior, 18U, and 16U national teams.
