Gaelic Football

The national game

St. Joseph's Avenue
Gaelic Athletic Association
Dublin
Ireland
+353 1 836 3222
http://www.gaa.ie

Gaelic Football is an absolute must for sports fans visiting Ireland. "Gaelic" is the national game passionately followed by most of the country. Intense rivalries abound between counties and the colours you wear on game days will determine how you are received. Tickets are hard to come by, but worth it if you can get them. Croke Park is the home of the Gaelic Athletic Association - a marvellous stadium a short walk from the centre of town. Club games are played all year round, while the big inter-county matches are March-September. Call for details of fixtures.

Watch out, tickets will have sold out well in advance and a small fortune will be asked if you are trying to get last-minute seats. The rugby season is October - May and while you may not be up to the fight for tickets to the big matches, club games are played every weekend, especially on the south side of the city. Details can be obtained by calling the stadium.
