This is a list of countries according to the best position achieved by teams from these nations at major Water Polo tournaments.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8] Results are based on major competitions according to FINA's historical records: the water polo tournament at the Olympic Games, the water polo tournament at the FINA World Aquatics Championships, the FINA Water Polo World Cup and the FINA Water Polo World League.[9] Medals earned by athletes from defunct National Federations 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. Note: the IOC does not combine medals of these countries. The table is pre-sorted by total number of first-place results, second-place results and third-place results, respectively. When equal ranks are given, countries are listed in alphabetical order.[10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17]
