NZ'S BEST WATER POLO VENUE

WPOTWF is the first, and only, sea-based water polo tournament in New Zealand.

Located at the new Tidal Steps on the Tauranga Waterfront, this two-day tournament is action-packed, showcasing NZ's top players from all over the country.

​

In contrast to traditional water polo, game times are shorter, with quick turn-arounds that create an exciting and lively atmosphere.

​

Players battle with each other, the tides and the elements in the beautiful Tauranga Harbour.

As a first-year trial event, only a men's division was held in 2019, with great success and 12 teams competing - a total of 120 athletes.

​

A festival atmosphere is created at The Strand with local food vendors as well as music and entertainment.
