If you think watching it on tv is awesome you need to play in a match. I was forced to retire playing due to too many knee injuries I miss it big time all the training, physicality the buzz you get after scoring.
I'm from America and have been a fan since the first time I saw hurling, ironically when I saw Clare FIRST win an All Ireland title with Anthony Daly as captain. I didn't understand the game then but I vowed to learn and love it after seeing the entire match AND his awesome post match speech. So glad to see they've won one in the post TH-cam era so we can all watch together as a PLANET.
This is the first time i have ever seen and or heard of this sport and i have to say other then the odd scoring system i love it! Super exciting and it seems points can be scored on the fly at any time and the players are so intense. I will have to look to youtube for more hurling games as i have never even seen one aired in the US....
lacrosse and hurling have a lot in common not really the style of play ,but in their origins.Both are native games thousands of years old shrouded in myth and legend and religion .Both were used as training and substitute for war.Ice hockey(as we call it) probably has its origins in this sport as well.
American hurler and footballer here (mostly hurler). I love this amazing sport and I'm so thankful that there is a great club where I live. I was in Ireland last year but didn't get the chance to go to a match unfortunately; I really hope to someday. This was a great All-Ireland final, I'm glad I was able to find this much in such great resolution too, many of the matches on youtube are too blurry. Thanks for posting this game!!
When I see Gaelic Games, it saddens me that they may one day become professional sports. It's no exaggeration to say it would ruin hurling and football. The grassroots support in the communities would dissolve and they would turn into just more corporate sports like soccer. In many small towns, these sports are a lifeline, something that keeps local spirit and pride alive. Listen to the players when they talk about how proud they are to play for teams that fathers, mothers, uncles and legends and played for. Gaelic Games are unique and should be kept amateur.
I can see pay for play coming,but intercounty players will still have to have full time jobs.The market in ireland is to small for a full time big money league.One of the reasons you have large crowds at championship games is because there are not many games if there was maybe 2 games every week the attendance average would be well done plus sponsorship and television money is never going to be big.Hurling for example only fills croke park once barring replays so I wouldn't lose sleep over it yet.In the celtic tiger era when attendance levels were much higher the irish independent did sums on it and reckoned it was possible even then the highest salary would be 20 000 euro for a top player.The crowds are much smaller since and sadly look like they are on the decline and such a scenario is not possible now.With so little money involved there as well to keep it amateur and probably will.
Their is no real division like that in hurling or gaelic football all players for their local clubs even if they play for the county team(highest level) .When the county season finishes the players go back and play with there clubs and even if that club is not a high ranking club,basically you play for where your born.Even then local clubs can win their county championship which qualifies them for the provincials and if they win that they have a chance to win the national competition at there grade. mcgoo
I'd say they should bring this sport over here to America, but we'd only fuck it all up. It's fun as hell to watch, and it doesn't seem to take much effort to understand it, especially if you're a hockey fan. I'm amazed this isn't more popular.
In ireland hurling is considered a symbol of irishness.The governing body the GAA promotes the culture of ireland as well as its sports.Its more than a sporting organisation.There is not an organisation quite like it any where in the world
Bloody brilliant game third time I've watched the replay now! Clare were just playing a different class that day. real hungry and more fight than Cork. I am always raving to the lads at work about this game, nothing like gripping the Camán and letting loose on that sliotar. I believe it was a record crowd too, 82,276. Thanks for the upload Georgie boy! Many thanks from Australia
stoneyquarter991 I'm Australian and I love hurling! I think it's a great shame that hardly anyone here would have a clue what it was. In Queensland, where I live it's all Rugby League, which is rubbish compared with Gaelic football.
Well hurling is our second sport .but there is parts of the country where its almost non existent.In my part of country its mostly gaelic football with an outpost of soccer in sligo town.Hurling although everybody knows it and respects it has only 5 clubs compared to 24 gaelic football and its part of the same association they should promote it.I don't see enough RL to comment ,but union is good though and is strong here.I would say there is some hurling clubs in queensland mostly irish,but im sure they will welcome all comers.
ant4812 I believe stoney is talking about Sligo. Hurling is actually Ireland's first sport nationally. I live in Cork where there are dozens of hurling clubs and gaelic football clubs. Quite a few also manage both games. Hurlling is massive in Munster and Leinster. Football is bigger in Connaught and Ulster but even traditional football counties like Dublin have taken massive leaps in hurling in the last decade. Sligo would certainly be football orientated. Different areas of the country have different tastes but nationally, hurling is the bigger game. That's not meant to disparage football either, which is also huge.but I think there's something more romantic about hurling as it speaks to our ancient roots, back to Cuchulainn and the ancient Irish chieftains. We Irish like to think we have a warrior spirit and hurling embodies that spirit. It's a warrior's game, in fact according to some historians, that's how the game may have started, as a means to train warriors.
I play ice/inline hockey and I think this must be the best field equivalent, rather than field hockey. Same sense of speed and toughness. First time watching it and already love it.
Joaquim Baeta Stick games need a conflict for the ball.When there is sticks involved its likes warrriors going into battle so you have to have that intensity.Field hockey doesn't have that though its a good game hurling and hockey are much better.
My son and daughter have been playing Lacrosse here in Tampa, Florida for 5 yrs..and I love the sport BUT I can also tell you this Irish Hurling is way..way..way more exiting. The concept of a split Net Goal is awesome. Also, accommodating the entire team by the Net Goal to protect (block) a "penalty" shot is a completely different approach and...I like it because it is a TEAM EFFORT and NOT just the goalie.When is it coming to the U.S.A.?
I just clicked on the game to see what hurling looked like, I actually watched until half time, might even watch the 2nd half still. This and Aussie Football are the only 2 sports to catch my interest the first time I watched them. Maybe I can consider soccer too since the first time I watched it I was playing it at age 6.
No only Hurling AFL has become to toughie used to go all the time to the football but soon as they put extra rules then no good to much politics and media involved don’t get me wrong not a bad sport to watch but soon as these point were put into the game then no good. But the Hurling that sport is absolutely killer.
@@danielvecchi9939 Same with our sports in the USA, they are being destroyed by every modern deadly sin. I would rather watch a Highschool Soccer/Football match than any of our pro leagues in any sport. Wish we had hurling here in small leagues so we could go see a game in person.
@@johnliberty3647 what ashame here in Australia we have drug scandals politics sponsors that pay the players to high but anyway who do follow in Hurling what a ripper sport.
Many Americans have never heard of Hurling including myself. It seems like a dynamic and fun sport and I could easily see myself having a hell of a fun time at a live game such as this.
as an American, I've been binge watching this sport on YT lately and I absolutely love it. I'm a bit confused though, is there a pro league and do they televise/stream it? I'd love to start following hurling more closely. Any Irish fans please lmk. Thanks!
At county level, the season consists of a league competition starting in January and ending in March/April. Then the championship (a knockout style competition) is played from June to August. But with the pandemic things are different at the minute with the leagues finishing up over the next couple of weekends and the championship probably starting soon after. Just use www.gaa.ie/ for fixtures As for tv/streaming there’s GAA Go www.gaago.ie/ for people outside of Ireland
David Michael There are a lot of clubs in the US already, most of them are made up of Irish players but some have mostly Americans. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Gaelic_games_clubs_outside_Ireland#North_America
+Adam Coady So what? Basketball is a hard thing to get into if you are of average height, and none of the other typical American sports look as awesome as this. Chalk me up as another American who would love to see this here in the U.S.
To play basketball you have to be black which is fine and good luck to them. This is a white ethnic game that goes back thousands of years on this island to the great legend of Cu Chulainn so let's keep it that way. That's true diversity. www.lashgoleor.ie/hurls_for_sale/cu_chulainn.html
Back in the late 80's and definitely in the 90's we got a fair bit of GAA broadcast here in the states. You had to hunt for it and it was primarily on cable channels no one cared for and at times no one was watching but it DID exist. As the networks got suckier here and the internet took over for video post 2002, the level dropped off in GAA coverage as it did for Aussie rules, which I'm also a huge fan of. I remember seeing the entire 1995 final as a young man LIVE in America on a Sunday and thinking that Clare that day and Anthony Daly in particular were awesome. I vowed then that I'd learn more and truly appreciate this lovely code. But you're right, we need more GAA in the states.
Actually it's the first time I ever see footage of this game, and the rules don't seem that incredibly complicated to me... Well, I think I've understood most of it.
I just found out this was a sport because I'm American but I think we should have it in the east coast it's kinda like lacrosse and a lot of people like lacrosse in the east coast especially maryland where I live
From Australia, and I think that this sport has a lot of similarities with Aussie Rules. Incredibly epic, all players continuously contributing and pushing themselves to the limit, courageous 1v1 contests, and no doubt fair play is stressed, because playing tough and playing dirty are often mixed up, but in sports like this it is obvious how much easier it is to play dirty than within the rules and in the spirit of the game :) However, I can imagine knee and hip injuries, and Osteitis Pubis in junior players are pretty common injuries in the sport, but not much you can do about that EDIT: Just looked up a few players and realise they measure in feet and stone.... like real men!
Yes i think hurling would suit the australian character more than Hockey(field).Actually the first attempt to standardise hurling was in australia.Gaelic football is mention as the originator of ozzie rules,but i think it was probably more hurling.
Scoring is in the net 3 and over the bar one but how come they keep the two scores separate? Do they just add up at the end to determine the final score and keep them separate so you can see how many actual goals we're scored as opposed to over the bar tries?
+laxfan727 Basically, the scoring is shown that way because it always has been (tradition!). But it's also nice to show off the goals: they're rare and impressive. And it gives people watching a little exercise in elementary arithmatic, which is no harm. TRiG.
I hope you got to see a game when you were here even if the big games are not till september.A munster final in pairc ui chaoimh would have been good though
wBryang Never been to a hurling game myself even though i am irish seen it on tv loads of times .Where i live gaelic football is more popular and have been to many games.
What’s the ball made of? Leather? Makes me think of Lacrosse, and soccer mixed together. Also are Hurling, and Gaelic football played in north Ireland as well? Or is the GAA only in the free nation of Ireland?
Last year i made my vacation in ireland and i saw this game in a pub at galway . I am from greece and i want to see thoses games . is there any link ??
Hi Isaac, we don't keep percentages in the same way that you do with Baseball or Football. This game though demonstrated some top quality goal scoring. The number of goals scored here is very unusual.
As an avid hockey player and coach, I have to say, this game is wickedly AWESOME and fun to watch! I'm glad I discovered it.
You’re right
Amateur game and stadium...no players paid....the best field game in the world!
If you think watching it on tv is awesome you need to play in a match. I was forced to retire playing due to too many knee injuries I miss it big time all the training, physicality the buzz you get after scoring.
Holy crap this sport is awesome!
+Spaisekraft This is one the best sports around, and what a fucking match!

+James Brohan same only og's will remeber this (i was at it)
FaZe qu33nie nah everyone remembers this one of the best Hurling matches of all time og is 80s and 90s
Best all Ireland i've seen in my life
Tight as fuck. As most top hurling matches are. The league is unbelievable too.
There was literally no defending
I was at that shit and I was 6 and I still remeber it
Defiantly and the right team won up the banner
Your right
the toughest bastards you will ever find anywhere,playing the greatest sport on earth...
100% lad

toughest bastards! hm
OMG this is the coolest sport I've ever seen.

such an underrated game

I will have to look to youtube for more hurling games as i have never even seen one aired in the US....
I live in Ireland myself, this sport is literally my life. Im playing for my county tomorrow against GALWAY! U14 I cant wait!
Awesome. I m from the USA and I just watch this sport for the first time .When I was Galway and Clifden. Loved it
This sport i so awesome. I wish I could some how watch this in america
Chad Bonsack people in the UK can now watch it so I think that it'll be airing in America soon enough!
Chad Bonsack any irish pub in america would televise these games :) the all ireland championship is over the summer months, the final in September
Niamh has the finals already been played
so is this like lacrosse but big like soccer, rough like hockey, dribbling like basketball, field goals like football? OMG this is the ultimate sport.
lacrosse and hurling have a lot in common not really the style of play ,but in their origins.Both are native games thousands of years old shrouded in myth and legend and religion .Both were used as training and substitute for war.Ice hockey(as we call it) probably has its origins in this sport as well.
You are correct. The ultimate sport. What in Irish legend is called "The Game of the Gods".
its over 3000 years old
the game is also been played in Ireland with over 3000 years
One of the best days ever, incredible atmosphere :)
I have never heard the name "Conor" so many times in all my life.
It is a common name in ireland
comes from "Conchobhair", meaning "lover of hounds"
John Connor from Terminator saved the human species. Never forget...
That's Cork for you

At county level, the season consists of a league competition starting in January and ending in March/April. Then the championship (a knockout style competition) is played from June to August.

From Australia, and I think that this sport has a lot of similarities with Aussie Rules.
Incredibly epic, all players continuously contributing and pushing themselves to the limit, courageous 1v1 contests, and no doubt fair play is stressed, because playing tough and playing dirty are often mixed up, but in sports like this it is obvious how much easier it is to play dirty than within the rules and in the spirit of the game :)
However, I can imagine knee and hip injuries, and Osteitis Pubis in junior players are pretty common injuries in the sport, but not much you can do about that
EDIT: Just looked up a few players and realise they measure in feet and stone.... like real men!
Look at gaelic football it is like this but no helmets, hurleys and bigger balls that you kick I think its more simmilar
Haha, I have, and it certainly more similar :)
I was thinking more the culture is more similar relative to Soccer or Gridiron
right :)
Yes i think hurling would suit the australian character more than Hockey(field).Actually the first attempt to standardise hurling was in australia.Gaelic football is mention as the originator of ozzie rules,but i think it was probably more hurling.
Scoring is in the net 3 and over the bar one but how come they keep the two scores separate? Do they just add up at the end to determine the final score and keep them separate so you can see how many actual goals we're scored as opposed to over the bar tries?
Yea and because the goal and points hold different values they are seperated :)
+laxfan727 Basically, the scoring is shown that way because it always has been (tradition!). But it's also nice to show off the goals: they're rare and impressive. And it gives people watching a little exercise in elementary arithmatic, which is no harm.

Is there a schedule posted online for the 2014 season? I will be in Ireland in June and would love to see a game in a large stadium like this.

I cried that match

Good quality
What’s the ball made of? Leather? Makes me think of Lacrosse, and soccer mixed together. Also are Hurling, and Gaelic football played in north Ireland as well? Or is the GAA only in the free nation of Ireland?
The ball is made of leather exterior and yes hurling and Gaelic football are played In northern Ireland
James Harrison thanks for the info 👍

I miss Hurling, the shoite we are seeing today, is not the same game..."
Collage hurling.tipp v cats was the game of the year
Just telling an American sports writer this game needs to come to America.
It's already played in America, look up 'hurling in America' on TH-cam.
Seán Leahy Oh good. Thanks.
What are the other GAA matches need to watch.
American here. I'm curious what a "good" save percentage is for a hurling keeper? I can't imagine it's that high.
Hi Isaac, we don't keep percentages in the same way that you do with Baseball or Football. This game though demonstrated some top quality goal scoring. The number of goals scored here is very unusual.
Is there an equivalent of the save percentage stat for (non American) football?
its extremely hard to block something as small as the ball is and with a hurley { stick thing they hold}
Scott Leamy I figured. Do they even track saves as a stat?
No
History beckons...
what the name of this sport?
