At the 1908 Summer Olympics, a water polo tournament was contested.
There was only one first round match, between Belgium and the Netherlands.
Great Britain, Sweden, and Austria had byes, but Austria withdrew after the draw.
As Austria had withdrawn, Great Britain had a walkover to the final, with Belgium playing Sweden to determine their opponent.
Great Britain's first and only match was against Belgium, who had already won two games in the tournament.
11 players scored during the three games of the tournament, including 5 of Belgium's poloists. The Belgian captain's 8 goals led the field, and he also gained the distinctions of having scored in each of the three games as well as the single-game high goal count at 6.
