Its name derive from Grand Duke Friedrich I., who gave the former University of Carlsruhe the surname "Fridericiana". Colloquial it is called "Fridi-Cup".

Due to the fact, that our team has got a high amount of girls and to handle better our tournament, we decided to make specific rules, which are different from the official ones. Although waterpolo is minted masculine, we reach at our Fridi-Cup about 40% girls.

The biggest Fridi-Cup took place in 2013 with 16 teams from 4 nations.
