The first European Water Polo Championship was held in 1926 inBudapest,Hungary, with just a men's competition. The women for the first time competed in 1985 (Oslo,Norway) for the European title. The water polo tournament was part of theEuropean Aquatics Championships up to and including 1997, and from 1999 the event was separated and got its own independent tournament.
