Hurling is one of Ireland's national sports. It is a stick and ball game, similar to Field Hockey, but much faster. It is actually the fastest field game in the world. The goals are like a Soccer goal and a Rugby goal stuck together. Scores are got by hitting the ball over the bar for one point, or into the goal for 3 points.
There are 15 players on the field. Players cannot run with the ball in their hand, but must balance it on the stick as they run. The ball cannot be thrown. There are many rules. See the links below, particularly the 3 videos which give a good overview of the game:
