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.

What sports do NI play that the south of Ireland do not play?

You are referring to Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. Generally the same sports are played throughout Ireland. Some sports are stronger in some parts. Motor sports are strong in Northern Ireland for example. Hurling is not so strong. It is strongest in the geographical south of Ireland, meaning the northern parts of the Republic of Ireland are not particularly strong in Hurling, not just Northern Ireland. There are a few small parts of Northern Ireland where Hurling is stronger, though still not as strong as the parts of Ireland where Hurling is strong.
