The GAA was founded in Thurles in 1884 to promote Ireland's national sports (especially hurling and Gaelic football). They succeeded so well that these quickly became the most popular sports as they had been before British influence in the late 19th century, and remain the most popular ahead of horse-racing, soccer, Rugby, coursing etc.
