Water polo competitions at the 2015 Pan American Games in Toronto was held from July 7 to 15 at the Markham Pan Am Centre in Markham.[1][2] The water polo competitions was the first sporting event to be conducted at the games, beginning three days before the opening ceremony.[1] This is because the Pan American Games were scheduled to be held roughly around the same time as the 2015 World Aquatics Championships scheduled for Kazan, Russia, thus the competition was moved forward to allow for a sufficient gap between the two events.[3] A total of eight men's and women's teams competed in each respective tournament.[4]
The winner of the men's tournament (the United States) qualified for the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.[5]
The competitions took place at the Atos Markham Pan Am Centre (Markham Pan Am Centre) located in the city of Markham, about 31 kilometers from the athletes village. The arena had a capacity of 2,000 people per session (1,000 permanent seating + 1,000 temporary seats).[1] The venue was also host the badminton and table tennis competitions, but in the other side of the centre (a triple gymnasium).[6]
