Competitive sport boomerang throwing has been active in Australia since the late 1970’s, and in 1981 was the beginning of 
competitions between Australia and the USA. In 1987 the first International team cup challenge was held in North America with team USA winning the cup. The following year another Australia vs USA cup was held in Barooga, NSW. Later that year the 2nd international team cup challenge was held in various locations in Europe and the 3rd and final international team cup challenge was again played in North America with team USA being overall champions concurrently from 1987 to 1989.
