Gaelic games are the traditional sports played in Ireland. The two main Gaelic games are Gaelic Football & Hurling, both of which are organised by the Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA).

Other games organised by the GAA include Rounders and Gaelic Handball.

During the late 19th century, Gaelic games in Ireland were dying out. This decline was stopped and reversed by the GAA and the Gaelic Revival.

Today, Gaelic Football and Hurling are the most popular games in Ireland.

Players are boys and girls across all age groups from Under 8 to Under 18, and men and women of all ages.

Every weekend Club matches are played in every town and village of Ireland. The very biggest matches regularly attract attendances of over 40,000 per game.

The All-Ireland Finals attract 82,500 every September to an extraordinary stadium in Dublin: “Croke Park” based close to city centre Dublin.
