New Zealand has a small Romani community, estimated to number between 1,500 and 3,000 individuals, mainly Romanichal immigrants from the United Kingdom along with more recent refugees from Europe. This community is actively addressing misunderstandings, especially concerning cultural appropriation by certain New Zealand "gypsy fairs" that use Roma-related terms and imagery commercially without genuinely representing Romani people.
