Contents 1 General description 2 Rules 2.1 Playing field 2.2 Teams ... 8 External links General description At first glance Gaelic Football resembles a combination of soccer and rugby and/or Australian rules football . Players advance the ball up the field with a combination of carrying, kicking, and hand-passing to their team-mates. Some plays include a ducking and weaving movement where the player in possession will run toward an opponent and, at the last minute, change direction after wrong-footing the defender. Passing takes place to players on the run, so rather than passing directly to a team-mate, players will pass the ball into mid-air just ahead of the receiving player so that he can run into it. The scoring system adds another dimension to the game. If a team has a two-point deficit in the dying minutes of a match, they will start to try to get in closer to the goal and create a goal-scoring opportunity. Fans enjoy the high speed and frequent scoring, the many different ways to deliver the ball, and the unpredictable nature of the game.

It is a field game which is also similar to Australian Rules Football. It is believed that Australian Rules Football evolved from Gaelic Football through the thousands of Irish people who were either deported or have emigrated to Australia since the middle of the nineteenth century. The origins of Gaelic football predate recorded history, while the Gaelic Athletic Association(GAA) was set up in 1884 by a nationalist Michael Cusack. Today one of the main stands at Croke Park in Dublin is named after him. The GAA was set up to not only promote gaelic games(football, hurling, handball, camogie and rounders), but also to promote the Irish language, music and dance. Today it is the largest sporting association in Ireland

Although the two sports are also played in clubs, the highlight is the yearly All Ireland Championships for the 33 county selections. Ireland is divided in 4 provinces Connacht, Leinster, Munster, and Ulster (which is Northern Ireland). Those are divided again into an unequal number of counties (Connacht 6, Leinster 12 (incl. Dublin), Munster 6, Ulster 9). First the provinces determine their champions, then those play off the All Ireland Championship. Those county rivalries are also a journey into the past for football fans, as passion more than money characterizes the games. Both sports are said to be very old, the championships in today's form more than 100 years.
