What are Gaelic Games?
| Originating in Ireland, the two main
gaelic games are Hurling and Gaelic Football. Camogie is the highly
popular female version of hurling and there is a growing amount of
Ladies Gaelic Football being played. |

In Hurling and Gaelic Football, the scoring system is the same. The target is a set of H posts like in rugby but with a net on the bottom section like in soccer. Players on two teams of fifteen must put the ball over the bar for a point or in the net for three points (see diagram.) |

| There are other games promoted by the governing body, the Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA,) but they are more recreational in nature. These are Handball, Rounders and Road Bowling. Follow the links below to find out more about each game. |
