1999 FINA Women's Water Polo World Cup

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The 1999 FINA Women's Water Polo World Cup was the twelfth edition of the event, organised by the world's governing body in aquatics, the International Swimming Federation (FINA). The event took place in Winnipeg, Canada from May 24 to May 29, 1999. Participating teams were the eight best teams from the last World Championships in Perth, Australia (1998).

The tournament served as a qualifier for the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney, Australia, where women's water polo made it's Olympic debut. Automatically the first ranked teams from Europe and the Americas from the 12th FINA Women’s Water Polo World Cup, plus one team from the host country, qualified. The other teams, with the exception of the Australian team which qualified automatically as the team from the host country, had to qualify at the 2000 Olympic Games Qualifying Tournament, held from April 22 to April 30 in Palermo, Italy.
