The first NCAA water polo championship tournament was held November 28-29, 1969, at Long Beach, California.
Eight teams were selected to take part, including six from California. That pretty much summarizes the state of the collegiate sport, then and now. Not only have all the championships been won by California schools, no school from outside California has ever even reached the finals.
The women's championship tournament was inaugurated in 2001.
Water polo is a fall sport for men and a spring sport for women. Therefore, the men's championship tournament is in December, while the women's tournament is in May.
