Sports Fly Fishing New Zealand is the official New Zealand member of CIPS through its membership of FIPS-MOUCHE who organize the World Fly Fishing Championships and the various regional championships in Oceania, Europe and North America
At the same time NZ were invited to join the Commonwealth Fly Fishing Association, which holds competitions every alternate year following the World Championship. Teams representing the various Commonwealth countries compete on an informal and friendly basis in the commonwealth country nearest to the location of the country hosting the World event. The SFFNZ is registered as a charitable, not-for-profit corporation and donations are tax deductible within the limits set by the Internal Revenue
New Zealand has sent teams to the World Championships where up to 26 countries compete since 1987 and has placed as high as 3rd overseas and won the event when it was hosted here in New Zealand in 1991. Currently due to funding SFFNZ only sends a team to the worlds every second year, during the other year the Oceania champs are held against Australia, this was a competition set up to give both countries more competition without the expense of travelling to Europe. Canada and Japan have also competed in this competition which is held alternatively in Australia or New Zealand
