What are Gaelic Games?

Originating in Ireland, the main Gaelic games governed by the Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA) in Ireland are Hurling/Camogie and Gaelic football. Camogie is the women’s version of Hurling and there is ladies’ Gaelic football as well.

In Hurling and Gaelic football, the scoring system is the same. The target is a set of H posts like in rugby but with a net on the bottom section like in soccer. Players on two teams of thirteen must put the ball in the net for three points or above the net for one point.

New players are always welcome, with no prior experience needed!

“I’ve seen sporting events in many parts of Europe and America (both North & South) but I have yet to see a game which keeps the excitement at such a constant fever pitch as hurling.”
