Gaelic football
• Gaelic football
(irish Peil, Peil
Ghaelach, or
Caid),
• Commonly referred
to as "football",
"Gaelic", is a form
of football played
mainly in Ireland.
Gaelic football
• Gaelic football is played by teams of 15
on a rectangular grass pitch with Hshaped goals at each end. The primary
object is to score by kicking or striking
the ball with the hand and getting it
through the goals. The team with the
highest score at the end of the match
wins.
Rugby union
•
Rugby union is an outdoor
contact sport, played with an
oval[1] ball, by two teams of 15
players. It is one of the two
main codes of rugby football,
the other being rugby league.
There is also a seven-a-side
variant named rugby sevens,
which is played under modified
laws and with only seven
players per team. Rugby union
is often referred to as simply
rugby, or as football, and in
regions where rugby league is
played, as union.
Camogie
• Camogie (in Irish, camógaíocht) is a
Celtic team sport, also known as
Shinty in Scotland. It is organised by
the Camogie Association of Ireland
and is the women's variant of hurling.
The rules are almost identical to
hurling with a few exceptions.

Hurling
• Hurling (in Irish, iománaíocht or iomáint) is an outdoor
team sport of ancient Gaelic origin, administered by the
Gaelic Athletic Association, and played with sticks called
hurleys and a ball called a sliotar. The game, played
primarily in Ireland, has prehistoric origins and is the
world's fastest field team sport in terms of game play.[1][2]
One of Ireland's native Gaelic games, it shares a number of
features with Gaelic football, such as the field and goals,
number of players, and much terminology. There is a
similar game for women called camogie (camógaíocht).
