History

NZSS started in 1986 with the girl's tournament held in Christchurch and the boy's tournament in Auckland. 

Prior to this, the only secondary schools' competition was an inter- provincial event dominated by Wellington and Canterbury with Auckland and Waikato often winning.

NZSS however has increased both the numbers of players and water polo status as a school sport as schools have been a captive membership largely untapped until 1986.
