The 2024 Men's European U-19 Water Polo Championship was the 28th edition of the tournament, held in Burgas, Bulgaria from 1 to 7 September 2024.[1][2] Serbia are the defending champions.

Host selection

Burgas was given the hosting rights on October 11, 2023.[1][2]

Format

For the first time, the 16 teams are sorted into two Divisions, based on the last edition and the qualifiers. The top eight teams made Division 1 and the other eight teams Division 2. Both divisions were split into two groups of four teams. The top two teams from each group of Division 1 advanced directly to the quarterfinals, while the other two teams from each group played against one of the top two sides from each group in Division 2 in a play-off round. Starting with quarterfinals onward, the regular knock-out system was used.

Qualification

Sixteen teams competed at the main event.[3]

  • The host nation
  • The top eight teams from the 2022 European Championship not already qualified as host nation
  • Final seven from the qualifiers.
