Major achievements in water polo by nation

This is a list of countries according to the best position achieved by teams from these nations at major Water Polo tournaments. Medals earned by athletes from defunct NOCs or historical teams have been merged with the results achieved by their immediate successor states, as follows: Russia inherits medals from the Soviet Union and the Unified Team; Serbia inherits medals from Serbia and Montenegro and Yugoslavia; and Germany inherits medals from West Germany. The table is pre-sorted by total number of first place results, second place results and third place results, respectively.
