The Football Association of Ireland says following a complaint it's scrutinising last Friday's (8th September) match between the sides.
Bray lost the game 5-0.
The Gardai has also been notified, however nobody has been charged with any wrongdoing.
In a statement the FAI said "The Football Association of Ireland has launched an investigation into alleged match-fixing surrounding the friendly match between Bray Wanderers FC and Waterford FC on Friday, September 8 at the Carlisle Grounds."
"Upon receipt of a complaint the FAI notified An Garda Siochanna and the Association has now launched an investigation into alleged breaches of FAI Rules.
"The FAI has a zero tolerance policy to match-fixing."
The club released its own statement claiming it is cooperating fully with the investigation:
"Bray Wanderers FC wish to acknowledge that they are aware of an investigation by An Garda Siochana into a recent fixture involving the Club.
"We are cooperating fully and will be making no further comment until the investigation is completed and we have been presented with the findings."
