World Aquatics has officially revealed a brand-new trophy for the Water Polo World Cup, marking the beginning of a new chapter for one of the sport’s most prestigious international competitions.
The striking silver design was unveiled ahead of the 2026 Water Polo World Cup Super Final in Sydney, where the first-ever champions to lift the new trophy will be crowned.

Featuring a sleek, modern sculpture that supports a polished sphere, the trophy symbolises excellence, ambition and the global growth of water polo. It replaces the previous design and is set to become the iconic prize awarded to future World Cup winners.

The unveiling adds extra significance to this year’s Super Final, with the world’s leading men’s and women’s national teams now competing not only for the title but also for the honour of becoming the inaugural recipients of the new World Aquatics Water Polo World Cup trophy.
All eyes will now turn to Sydney as history awaits, with one nation set to become the first to raise the sport’s newest symbol of international success.
