Sportsgirl is an Australian clothing chain owned and operated by ARG Group.

[1] The first Sportsgirl store opened in 1948 as an alternative to its sister label, Sportscraft, on Swanston Street, Melbourne.

The store was owned and operated by the Bardas family, who at the time had no retail outlet, and had been distributing their Sportscraft clothing label via department stores.

[3] In 1994, in Melbourne, a change in the economic climate forced the company to sell the Sportsgirl Centre.

In 2000, under new management by Sussan, Sportsgirl launched a new look for its stores, with the first unveiled at the Chadstone Shopping Centre in Melbourne.
