Watch & learn
Traditional Irish games and sports. Tap any one to watch it in action and learn what you're seeing.
Fifteen players a side carry, bounce, kick and hand-pass the ball, scoring a point over the crossbar or a three-point goal into the net. Watch for the high catch and long, arcing kicks curling between the posts.
Played with a wooden stick (the hurley) and a small ball (the sliotar), struck along the ground or through the air at over 100 km/h. Watch for players catching a flying sliotar bare-handed and strikes sent the length of the field.
The women's version of hurling, played with the same hurley and sliotar and almost identical rules, with over a century of history. Expect the same blistering skill and speed — first-touch control, overhead strikes and pinpoint scoring.
