The FINA Men's Water Polo World Cup is an international water polo tournament, organized by FINA and featuring eight men's national teams.[1] It was established in 1979, initially taking place on odd years. Since 2002 it is held every four years, in the even-year between Olympics.[2]
From 2023 on, the tournament will be replacing the FINA Water Polo World League.[3][4]
