What is gaelic football?
Gaelic football is one of four Gaelic Games run by the Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA), the largest and most popular organization in Ireland. It is very popular throughout the world (over 7000 clubs worldwide).The players are all amateurs, and so are playing for “the glory of the parish pump”.The pinnacle of the sport is the inter county All-Ireland Football Final. The game is believed to have descended from ancient Irish football known as caid which dates back to 1537, although the modern game took shape in 1887.
