The rules of water polo are the rules and regulations which cover the play, procedure and officiating of water polo. These rules are similar throughout the world, although slight variations do occur regionally and depending on the governing body. Governing bodies of water polo include FINA, the international governing organisation for the rules. Note: Rules below reflect the latest FINA Water Polo Rules. Senior games consist of seven players from each team that are allowed in the playing area of the pool during game play. FINA reduced the number of players in U20 competitions that they sanction to six in 2014. If a player commits an exclusion foul that team will play with one player fewer until the player is allowed to re-enter. If a player commits a violent act, such as striking a player the referee may signal a brutality foul, in which case that team is required to play with one fewer player in the water for 4 minutes, besides the culprit being ejected. Plus, the culprit may not be allowed to compete in a given number of future games depending on the governing body.

Players may be substituted in and out after goals, during timeouts, between quarters, after injuries. During game play, players exit in the corner of the pool, or in front of their goal; when play is stopped, they may exit anywhere. If at any time during play a team has more players in the pool than they are allowed, a penalty is given to the opposing team. If a team starts with less than six outfield players, the referee may yellow card the coach for allowing it to happen and give a major foul to the opposition on 6 metres, if the 6th player joins the game illegally. A variation is Beach water polo, which has four players including the goal keeper, a smaller field, some other differing rules; the two opposing teams must wear caps which contrast: with both goalkeeper cap color, with the other team's cap color and with the ball color. In practice, one team wears dark caps and the other white. Teams may choose to wear different cap colors. For instance, Australia's women's water polo team. For NFHS, CWPA, NCAA rules the home team is dark and the away team is white.

The water polo cap is used to protect the players' heads and ears, the numbers on them make them identifiable from afar by the referee. Both goalies wear red striped caps; the first choice goalkeeper is marked "1" with the reserve being marked "13" or "1A". The game is divided into four periods. There is no overtime in international water polo, games proceed to a shootout if a victor is required. At the collegiate level there are two straight 3-minute periods. Lower levels of play have different overtime rules depending on the organization; the game clock is stopped. As a result, the average quarter lasts around 12 minutes of real time. A team may not have possession of the ball for longer than 30 seconds without shooting for the goal unless an opponent commits an ejection foul. After 30 seconds, possession passes to the other team, the shot-clock is reset; the clock is reset for 30 seconds after a goal or neutral throw, or penalty in which possession is exchanged. However, if a team shoots the ball within the allotted time, regains control of the ball, the shot clock is reset to 20 seconds.

It is reset for 20 seconds after a major foul, corner throw, or rebound from a penalty throw if the attacking team retain possession. The presence of a shot-clock leads one of the key concepts in water polo: you do not need the ball, it will come back to you, eg after a goal, failed goal attempt, or at the end of the shot-clock period. So, it is not necessary to try to take the ball in an over-aggressive manner. You lose a player and they gain more time. So the art of defence is to slow down the play and wait for the ball. Dimensions of the water polo pool are not fixed and can vary between 20×10 and 30×20 meters, therefore short course pools can be used. Minimum water depth must be least 1.8 meters, but this is not the case due to nature of the pool. The goals are 90 centimeters high; the middle of the pool is designated by a white line. Before 2005, the pool was divided by 4 meter lines; this has been merged into one 5 meter line since the 2005–2006 season, and'6 meter' line since the 2019-2020 season.

The 6 meter line is marked by a yellow line. It was brought in by FINA in 2019, relates to the method of taking a free throw after an ordinary or exclusion foul. The'5 meter' line is whe
