Host selection
On 14 December 2010, FINA announced that Catania, Italy would host the 2014 Short Course Worlds.
In November 2011, the Italian Swimming Federation (FIN) withdrew their support of Catania as host for the event, due to the Italian regional government's missing deadlines related to financial guarantees for the event. FIN's withdraw of support for Catania made it unlikely that the event would stay in Italy.
On 4 April 2012, the FINA Bureau announced that Doha, Qatar would host the event.
Schedule
46 events are going to be held.

During the competition, a total of 23 world records were set, including 7 men's records and 15 women's records. A mixed relay (including men and women) world record was also broken. Hungarian swimmer Katinka Hosszú accounted for the most world records with 4.
