Haughey, who won silver in the 100m freestyle in the Japanese capital this summer, took victory in Naples where she beat Olympic gold medallist Emma McKeon of the London Roar to the wall at the Piscina Felice Scandone.
The Hongkonger finished in 51.42 seconds with the Australian Olympic champion just behind in 51.47 seconds.
Haughey showed her dominance in the 200m freestyle later on Friday, which she won in 1:52.25. The 23-year-old was well clear of DC Trident swimmer Leah Neale in second, who finished in 1:55.41 to see Haughey pick up 19 points for her team.
