Gaelic sport is an ancient game which originated in Ireland. It is split into two sports Gaelic Hurling and Gaelic Football. Hurling is the oldest field game in Europe, at least 2000 years old, and it is the fastest out field game in the world. Each team has 15 players and each player has a Hurley (caman in irish). This is a stick which a player uses to hit a ball(sliothar in irish). Its a tough sport but is very enjoyable
GAelic football can be described as a mixture of soccer and rugby, although it is a lot older than these sports. The ball is very similar to a soccer ball only smaller.
In both sports a player can score a goal by getting the ball into the net or a point by getting the ball over the bar. 1 goal is equal to 3 points. It is played all over the country and the All - Ireland finals are held in Dublin (Croke Park) every September and is a must see.
