Holiday Cup

The Holiday Cup is a waterpolo competition held in the United States since 1998, and featuring some of the best the world of women's water polo has to offer. The event which originally had been a yearly happening was modified throughout the years to take place in the second and third year of the quadrennial period, thanks to the emergence of the Women's Water Polo World League.

Originally a summertime event held in July the event later found itself in the winter months. It has evolved over the years from the early days of just four teams participating. Along with an expanded competition pool that was the inclusion of European teams for the first time, namely Russia and the Netherlands in 1999 and later on Italy in 2001. Also the locale for the event has switched a few times from the National Training Center in Los Alamitos, California, up north to Stanford, California, further south to La Jolla, California and Long Beach, California.
