Gaelic football is a traditional Irish team sport that combines elements of soccer and rugby. Played on a rectangular field, two teams of 15 players each aim to score points by kicking or punching a ball into the opposing team's goal or over a crossbar. The game emphasizes both skill and teamwork, with players allowed to carry the ball for a limited number of steps. The sport is governed by the Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA) and is particularly popular in Ireland. Matches are played at various levels, from local clubs to national competitions, including the prestigious All-Ireland Senior Football Championship.
