We present the results of a survey of star forming regions in the Large Magellanic Cloud for water maser emission conducted at the Australia Telescope Compact Array. For our 37 pointings a total of 27 masers where detected. 20 of these are, as far as we are able to determine, new detections. The properties and relationships between the masers and their surroundings are examined and compared to similar environments in the Milky Way. The LMC masers tend to be associated with young stellar objects and there is a weak correlation between maser and YSO luminosity. Similar correlations have been found for masers in the Milky Way. However, the LMC water masers tend to be less luminous than their Milky Way counterparts.
