Best Answer

Hurling, a stick and ball sport , loosely like Field Hockey, is one of Ireland's two main national sports. Hurling is the fastest field game in the world. The other major Irish sports is Gaelic Football, which to someone not familiar with it, could best be described as a cross between Soccer and Rugby, and is loosely related to Australian Rules Football. Camogie is the version of hurling played by women, and is similar to Hurling, but with some basic variations in the rules. There is a women's version of Gaelic Football, which also has some variations in the rules of Gaelic Football played by men. A game similar to cricket or Baseball that Ireland has is called rounders. The other popular sports in Ireland are the more well known international sports like soccer, rugby, golf, horse racing etc.

Hurling, the fastest field-sport in the world, and Gaelic football.

They invented rounders, which would become baseball, and handball.

No. They are the national sports in Ireland, but anyone can play them. Some of the best players have been born in other countries, come to Ireland and started playing and became very good. There are teams in some other countries, where Irish people have settled and founded clubs, but many locals then join too. So you certainly do not have to be Irish to play Gaelic games.
