Uniquely in the world of cycling, the Australian women's team is not simply an addition to an existing structure. It was created alongside a men's team, giving rise to a two-part entity financed by the businessman Gerry Ryan and quickly bolstered by sponsorship from the chemical group Orica. Led by the world time trial champion Judith Arndt, it finished world number three in its maiden season (2012). It then dominated the following season, taking first place in both the team and individual classifications, thanks to the Swede Emma Johansson.

In 2017 and 2018, Annemiek van Vleuten finished two seasons as world number one. During her six seasons with the team (2016 through 2020), the Dutch rider won three world titles, two Giros d'Italia, Olympic gold and La Course by le Tour de France twice. She conquered the Izoard and the Marseille time trial in the only edition contested over two stages (2017), then defeated Anna van der Breggen in Le Grand-Bornand after an epic duel on both sides of the Col de la Colombière (2018).

Van Vleuten changed teams to Movistar in 2021, symbolising a squad that has undergone significant changes in recent seasons. The Spaniard Ane Santesteban delivered its first top 10 (eighth in 2023) before her countrywoman Mavi García broke the duck in the Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift last season. The structure now fields a triple menace consisting of Mónica Trinca Colonel (seventh in La Vuelta Femenina by Carrefour.es in 2025 and 2026), Letizia Paternoster (fourth in the Amstel Gold Race) and Ella Wyllie (sixteenth in the 2023 Tour at the tender age of 20 and twelfth last year).
