“I visited Dublin to watch England in the Six Nations with my son and a good friend. We decided to avoid some of the more traditional Dublin experiences.
Don’t get me wrong, we still enjoyed the bars and music but the real craic was by far the morning we spent with the team at Experience Gaelic Games getting some fresh air and enjoying the reality of Gaelic sports. We had a memorable time trying out hurling, handball and football but the day was made special because we learnt about history of the Gaelic sports, and how important it is in the Irish culture (also the fun of learning how the ‘ish’ in Irish can be applied to some of the rules).
Thank you to the team for looking after us so well, being so hospitable and friendly, and making sure we had such a great time.”

Connor Paine
“This is a wonderful experience, with a full look at the gaelic culture that is fostered by the clubs!
Steven Fitzpatrick
“Incredible experience. Our company is mostly Italian and the Irish in the office had been dying to show them our games and it was done perfectly through the team at Experience Gaelic Games. We got a brief history of the sport and rules and then tried our hand at all 4 of the Gaelic Games

“We had an absolutely brilliant time with EGG - we took 25 lads from an U15's rugby team and they looked after us so incredibly well. Highly recommended for a brilliant experience and incredible customer service. Thanks guys. Mick, OBRFC

“Totally loved it! Great fun and sporty session, definitely recommend this activity. You get a nice glimpse of local sports culture, intriguing information and actually get to play these games too. I was a bit nervous on going alone, but ended up having absolutely great craic with a bunch of stag party lads, and super friendly staff. Thanks a million!

“Great experience and top notch service. Facilities were very clean and everyone was very welcoming. Equipment and training were great. There were areas where people could change if necessary and they provided water in between the games. I like that they didn’t try to nickel-and-dime you with extras, just a great presentation of the games and ample time to practice and play. We played with another group for a total of about 15 people. I would recommend double checking your gps to make sure you’re going to the club location listed on the website. There was plenty of parking available.

“Super Erfahrung für die Schüler, die in 20er - Gruppen drei irische Spiele kennen gelernt haben und auch ausprobierten. Alles war gut organisiert und betreut

“Det här var hur kul som helst! Efter en kort introduktion fick vi testa på sporterna gaelic football, gaelic handball och hurling. Vi var mellan 25 och 60 år gamla, med olika atletisk förmåga. Vår värd Aine lyckades anpassa nivån så den blev lagom för oss alla! Rekommenderas starkt!

“Dieses Angebot bietet den Teilnehmern einen etwa dreistündigen Einblick in die Welt der irischen Sportarten Gaelic Football, Hurling und Handsquash.
Lars - TripAdvisor
Auf der Sportanlage des Vereins "Na Fianna" erhält man, nach einer herzlichen Begrüßung, bei Kaffee und Keksen einen kurzen Überblick in die Grundlagen der einzelnen Sportarten.
Ehe es dann auf den Kunstrasenplatz geht und man die ersten Übungen beginnt um sich mit dem Spielgerät und den neuen Sportarten vertraut zu machen,
Sowohl die Kursleiter als auch die anderen Teilnehmer waren sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend.
Der Spaß kommt nicht zu kurz. Die Sportarten machen einfach sehr viel Laune und mit einem gesunden Ehrgeiz und Spaß am Sport werden es grandiose Stunden.
“We did not know what we were going for, but this was incredibly fun for everyone who participated. Handball, football and hurling. Difficult but entertaining
Camilla H
“Very nice home ; a coach (for an adult and 2 teenagers) who explains and details all the movements of the 3 Gaelic games and who makes you play. 3hoo activities where you have fun learning new sports. The whole family highly recommends!

“I have a company that organises trips for Spanish students and every year I bring a group to try the Gaelic experience. It can't be better. It's always one of the best memories of the teenagers on my groups. Totally recommend

“Participated in Experience Gaelic Games after a heavy Friday night out in Dublin on a Stag do. (17th Feb) The games were in incredible and the coaching team (Jono (GoalKeeper), Brian and the lovely lady who runs the talk) were fantastic. Jono was a great coach and explained how each part of the games are played on the field. I still beat him at a rally of Handball 😉 Brian is very knowledgeable and passionate about Gaelic Games. The whole stag do enjoyed the day with EGG. #RichTeas Thanks

“Had a magical time learning about the history of Gaelic games, the cultural importance and the community spirit around it. It was heaps of fun trying the games for ourselves too. Coaches organised the sessions very well and I will definitely come back with a big group for another round!

“It's an amazing activity. You are going to discover a really important part of the Irish culture. Thank you.
Olivier Parant
“Really good fun. Well organized and perfect for our stag group. Not all sporty but everyone got involved and worked really well. Sweated out the night before and worked up a thirst for the rest of the day. It is a full on work out. Lots of running. They provide water and have good changing facilities

“Tester les jeux gaéliques est une expérience très amusante et enrichissante. Les sportifs y verront l'occasion de se défouler, les moins sportifs se contenteront d'essayer tranquillement (il n'y a aucune pression de performance). Les installations et le matériel sont en bon état, le staff est accueillant et compétent, c'est un vrai plaisir!
Elissess
On peut se doucher sur place, mais il ne faut s'attendre qu'au confort des douches communes d'installations sportives.
2 lignes de bus passent juste en face du terrain, c'est donc très pratique d'y accéder.
Ca vaut vraiment le coup, tentez l'expérience! Même seul(e)!
“Nous avons fait cette initiation avec des potes pour un EVG et c'était super. Les gens sont top, le matos propres et adaptés. Une bonne matinée pour bien réattaquer la journée (même si nous étions bien nous après). A faire

Belle expérience et belle découverte.
Je recommande vivement.
“One of the best experiences you can get while visiting Dublin. The team here are very professional and very knowledgeable regarding the history of Irish sports which enhanced the experience. We got some lessons on how to play some of the games and just had an awesome day of fun. Whenever I visit the country again I would definitely like to visit the place again. It was completely worth it. You guys are amazing

“Our time with Experience Gaelic Games was great. It started with a text from Georgina letting us know we were the only two signed up for the day. She said it was unusual but they could accommodate us or we could switch to another day. We decided to stay with our original booking. Paul met us outside and began the day. He explained the GAA clubs and their role in the community and country. He spoke about the games and how popular they are even as an amateur sports. We then started with handball to get us warmed up. Paul gave us instructions, went through a few drills then played a game, which turned into three games. Next was hurling. We followed the same routine of instruction, drills and games. He made mini competitions with the drills once he noticed how competitive we were with each other. Last up was Gaelic football. Again the same routine with instruction, drills, and games. We had a blast! At the end Paul airdropped us pictures which we hadn't realized he was taking because we were having so much fun. I would recommend this to everyone!
