Gaelic Football

Ireland’s version of football has a speedy tempo and a very loyal fan base. Described as a mixture of soccer and rugby, it has developed as a distinct game similar to the progression of Australian Rules. 

The ball used in Gaelic Football is round, a bit smaller than a football, and it can be carried in the hand for a distance of four steps, giving the game quite a different feel to soccer. 

Croke Park, the fourth largest stadium in Europe, is once again the home of Gaelic Football, and the stadium really comes alight on fast-paced match-days.
