The water polo tournaments at the 2015 European Games in Baku, Azerbaijan were held at the Baku Aquatics Centre in the Baku Games Cluster from 12 to 21 June 2015. 16 teams competed in the men's tournament and 12 teams in the women's tournament.
Water polo was not included in the earliest list of sports confirmed for the 2015 Games, as the European swimming authorities at that stage were minded not to take part, but after negotiations with the organising authorities were made, a compromise was reached whereby, in 2015, these events were for junior players only - in effect, athletes between the ages of 16 and 17 for both men and women.
Qualification Both of Azerbaijan's teams automatically qualified. The junior teams from 2013 European Junior Championships automatically qualified, while the 2015 European Junior Championships had a qualification tournaments for the Games.
