Gaelic Games (GAA)
Gaelic Games (or GAA) is the term given to a range of indigenous Irish sports and pastimes, including hurling, camogie and football. These sports and pastimes are unique to Ireland, are deeply embedded in Irish culture, and are played throughout the island of Ireland by all ages and at every level. The GAA is an intrinsic part of every Irish community, so getting to experience it up close is a truly Irish pastime. Hurling has been described as the fastest game in the world and is growing in popularity across the globe. Let us plan a visit to a real-life GAA game, where you can cheer from the sidelines or even pick up a hurl (that’s the stick they play with) and have a go yourself!
