The two national sports in Ireland, Hurling and Gaelic Football. Hurling is a stick and ball game, similar to hockey or Lacrosse, and it is the fastest field game in the world. Gaelic Football has sometimes been described as a cross between soccer and Rugby.

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.

Why is basketball not as popular in Ireland as other places?

Basketball does have a strong following in many parts of Ireland. Each country has national sports and in Ireland's case they would be Gaelic Football and Hurling. They dominate everywhere in Ireland. Rugby, soccer, golf and horse racing would be big sports in Ireland too. So there are many more popular sports that Irish people would have an interest in. All of those sports and others are long established in Ireland, so newer sports like basketball don't have the same popularity. Even today, many players with big basketball teams in Ireland are not themselves from Ireland.
