The oldest Australian copy is dated 9000 years ago and its main functions besides hunting instrument was cut meats and vegetables, digging the earth in search of edible roots and fish to hit the beaches.

The sport emerged almost simultaneously in Australia, Europe and the United States in the late '60s, but it was the Boomerang Association of Australia, founded in 1969 which established the main evidence played today. The first World Cup was held in 1988 in Australia.
