In New Zealand and Australia, a competitive sport involving teams of marching girls grew up and became established in the 1930s.

The Australian Marching Association (AMA) and Marching New Zealand (MNZ) are the main officiating organizations. Teams compete in the U/9, U/12, U/17, Senior and Masters sections in the PDR, Freestyle, Exhibition, Prop Precision, TDR, March Past and Set Drill routines.

The sport has lost many members in recent years, this has led to its decline in many areas of Australia.
