Gaelic Football and Hurling are Ireland's two national sports. Gaelic Football would be more widely played at the highest level, because Hurling is more skilful and difficult to play. It is still extremely popular and played across the entire country. Both Gaelic Football and Hurling are run by the same organisation and so they are very strongly linked in many ways, which is why we would say that they are our two national sports, rather than identifying one.
