# 2023 World Aquatics Swimming World Cup

The 2023 World Aquatics Swimming World Cup was a series of three-day meets in three different cities in October 2023. This edition was held in the long course (50 meter pool) format.
This edition of the World Cup was expected to introduce an "open" category for transgender swimmers in the 50- and 100-meter events. However, there were no entries and the category was shelved.
