Gaelic Football is the most popular of the Gaelic games and is played on a rectangular grass pitch with H-shaped goals at each end. This Irish game is high octane, full of speed, precision, accuracy and intensity. It combines the magic of rugby, football and handball, all in one sport.
It is played with a round ball and both hands and feet are used to control and pass the ball. There are 15 players on each team, with only one referee. The game is played in two 30-minute halves.
The primary objective is to score by driving the ball through or over the goals. If the ball is sent over the bar of the goals, this equates to One Point. If it goes under bar, into the goalmouth, this equates to Three Points. The team with the highest score at the end of the match wins. To learn about the rules of Gaelic football, click on this link.
