The 2016 FINA Swimming World Cup was a series of nine two-day meets in nine cities between August and October 2016. After switching to long-course pools in the previous year's pre-Olympic season, this edition returned to the usual short-course format. Like the previous short course World Cup in 2014, 36 events were scheduled. The total amount of prize money was US$ 2,178,000. The first meet started 13 days after the final day of the Olympic pool swimming program.
