Gaelic games are traditional Irish sports that include hurling, camogie, and Gaelic football. These games are governed by the Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA) and are played by teams representing clubs and counties across Ireland. Hurling is played with a wooden stick called a hurley and a small ball known as a sliotar, while Gaelic football combines elements of soccer and rugby. The games are deeply rooted in Irish culture and community, often featuring local rivalries and celebrations. They are played at various levels, from local clubs to national competitions, culminating in the prestigious All-Ireland Championships. Gaelic games promote teamwork, physical fitness, and a strong sense of community.
