Aherlow GAA was created in 1885.

Metropolitans is said to be the first club founded, but it is no longer in existence. The oldest existing clubs are Round Towers in Clondalkin, founded in December 1884 and Faughs, now in Templeogue, founded at Easter in 1885.

Hurling is the fastest field game in the world. So to play the game at a high level, you have to be very fit. You have to be very strong. You have to be very fast. You have to have good hand-eye co-ordination, good balance and be able to carry out a wide range of skills. All this takes time and practice. So a player gets a lot of exercise and looks after their diet and weight and keep in a healthy condition. So Hurling is a game that can help keep people very healthy, whether played at the top level, or even at a lower level.

They have won 5 All-Ireland senior Football Finals:

1960

1961

1968

1991

1994

Field Dimensions: (144.5 m x 88m)

It is the head quarters of the Gaelic Athletic Association, the largest sporting organisation in Ireland and the largest amateur sporting organisation in the world. It has the most seats of all the stadium in Ireland. It is the venue for Gaelic Football and Hurling matches, and other sports. It hosts the two biggest sporting events in the Irish sporting calendar: The All-Ireland Football Final and the All-Ireland Hurling final. It is a historic venue, in sporting terms, but also in political terms due to the shooting of people there in 1920.

On the 14th of April 2012, Liam O'Neill became the GAA president for a 3 year term.

It is named after Michael Hogan, a Gaelic Football player from Tipperary. He was shot in Croke Park while playing a match there on Sunday the 21st of November 1920. He was one of 13 people shot dead in Croke Park that day, but the only player to die. The day became known as Bloody Sunday.

All 32 counties have Gaelic Football and Hurling teams. Counties have lots of levels in terms of ages and ability, so each individual county would have lots of county teams, from senior teams down to children.

The pitch area measures 144.5m x 88m, which is about 472 feet by 288 feet. It has about 72,500 seats. It also has a terraced area for people to stand, bringing its total capacity to about 82,300.

Padraig Pearses GAA Roscommon was created in 1962.

Miltown Malbay GAA Club was created in 1892.

A number of clubs claim this title. Some that were founded in the early days of the GAA are now gone, like Metropolitans in Dublin. Others survive, like Blarney GAA club(Cork), founded in 1884, the same year as the GAA itself. Others founded in 1884 include Round Towers(Dublin), Tullaroan(Kilkenny), and South Liberties (Limerick).

i supporter is someone who supports the team and checks on the scores but if the match is showing on the television, they won't go out of their way to watch it.

a fan is someone who is fanatical and will do anything and everything to watch their team, cancel other plans, be there and always be in the knowledge of what's going on, transfers, injuries, fixtures, results, you name it.

Hurling, which is one of Ireland's two national sports.

A terrace ticket will be €35. A stand ticket will be €70. Premium level and corporate level tickets will be higher. For All-Ireland Finals tickets are not sold to the general public in the way they are for all other matches. Tickets are distributed through the county boards and clubs, so they are always very difficult to get, even for people who have contacts in the GAA.

There is no simple answer to that. There are a lot of days that there are matches there during the year. On most of those days there are 2 matches, and sometimes even 3. Different matches have different amounts of people at them and different matches have different prices for the tickets. So the amount earned would change every time there are matches there.

No, it is not professional. Gaelic Football and Hurling are amateur sports, so players do not get paid. This actually makes the sports better, as players are playing for the love of the game, for their teammates, for their home town or county, for their family and friends, and for their team's supporters. These are all far better reasons and incentives to play than any payment could ever be.

When everyone first plays a sport we do it purely for the fun, and that is when it is most enjoyable and when we play best. Professionalism actually destroys many sports. The vast majority of GAA (Gaelic Athletic Association) players play for the same teams for all of their playing career. They have a sense of belonging to that team and the wider community. A professional sports person who plays for many teams during their career can never have that connection. Only when they compete for their country do they come anyway close to that.

GAA players get expenses for things like travelling to training and they get well looked after in other ways. To pay them to play would destroy the game, as it has done for many sports. Payment removes all the incentives I listed, and nothing can motivate a player like those do. If you've ever seen Gaelic Football and Hurling, you'll see how much passion they play with, far more than most professionals do. Check out YouTube for videos if you haven't.

The GAA was founded in Thurles in 1884 to promote Ireland's national sports (especially hurling and Gaelic football). They succeeded so well that these quickly became the most popular sports as they had been before British influence in the late 19th century, and remain the most popular ahead of horse-racing, soccer, rugby, coursing etc.
