Gaelic Football in Ireland 2025

Play football in Gaelic way—try the same game but with far different system of rules

Best time: February–September

Gaelic football is a traditional Irish ball sport that has developed a whole new system of rules that tolerate carrying, bouncing, kicking and hand-passing a ball. The most spectacular​ events take place in Dublin Croke Park attracting avid watchers and participants from all over the country.

The options don't end with just watching as you may also test your sports skills, learn a lot about the history of the sport and have a glimpse of the game from the inside, visiting team changing rooms.
