2000 Women's Water Polo Olympic Qualifier
- 2000 Women's Water Polo Olympic Qualifier
The 2000 Women's Olympic Water Polo Qualifying Tournament was the first ever tournament of it's kind, to decide the remaining three competing teams at the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney, Australia, where women's water polo made it's Olympic debut. The Netherlands and Canada already were qualified, after finishing in first and fifth place at the 1999 FINA Women's Water Polo World Cup in Winnipeg, Canada. Australia automatically qualified as the team from the host country.
The tournament was held in Palermo, Italy, from April 22 to April 30, 2000 with twelve competing teams. The first two ranked teams from this tournament would qualify. One team if a team from Africa or Asia was placed eighth or better then this team would be the third qualified. If not, the third placed team in this tournament would qualify. After the preliminary round and a rest day on day four of the event, the top four qualifiers played the third-ranked qualifiers in other groups, taking on the points won in the first round.
