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.
