You are probably thinking of Gaelic Football or Hurling, Ireland's two national sports. However it would not be completely true to say that they are exclusively played in Ireland. There are clubs and teams in other countries, where there are many Irish people living, though nothing on the scale that you have in Ireland. They would not be classified as international sports. Many people in other countries would never have seen or heard of them, even though there could be some teams near them. Hurling is the fastest field game in the world, and incredible to watch. If you have never seen it, check for videos of Hurling on the internet, and also for ones of Gaelic Football. In Ireland they are huge sports with thousands of people involved and with matches attracting massive crowds. The two biggest games of the year, the All-Ireland Hurling Final and All-Ireland Football Final, each fills a stadium of 82,300 spectators with millions more people watching on TV and listening on radio or the internet in Ireland and around the world every September. The Hurling final is normally on the first Sunday in September and the Football final is normally on the third Sunday in September. The amazing thing about these sports is that none of the players get paid. It is all completely amateur and players may have ordinary jobs or be studying. This actually adds to the sport, because players are playing for pride and for their own community and friends and relations, not money. They play with a unique passion.
