- NCAA Men's Water Polo Championship
-
The NCAA Men's Water Polo Championship has existed since the 1969 season.
No school from outside the state of California has ever surpassed third place. Hence, no non-California school has ever participated in the NCAA Men's Water Polo Championship game.
California (Berkeley) leads all universities with 13, followed by Stanford with 10 and UCLA at 8.
