@@columlennon as much as i love the urban legend of drunken Irishmen going out on the frozen lake to play hurling and inadvertantly inventing ice-hockey... it is, sadly, just a legend Respect & Peace ☘
@@columlennon😂 True. We have on of the biggest stadiums in Europe 120,000 seater. And it is filled to capacity on All Ireland finals Day. Man it is a sight to behold.
I played in Ireland in my youth 50 years ago. In the 80,,'s I moved to Canada and every year we would participate in the North American Galeic games championships which included hurling. One year we were in Boston and we had a bus driver called Leroy taking us form the hotel to the fields. He was axharacter. He loved hurling. He was like, you guys are crazy, theres blood all over, but man i just loooove the violence. When the game is played properly by skilled players, it's the best game in the world, hands down.
The last All-Ireland hurling Final was a contest between Cork and Clare. It was probably the best game of hurling I (or anyone else!) have ever seen, and I'm 69. Cork hearts were broken as Clare prevailed by a single point. The sublime skill, speed and accuracy of both teams was truly awesome.
by far, by a long shot, hurling is the greatest field game on the planet. Abs no doubt! The one word all Irish and OF ANY SPORT will; say of Hurling, is HONESTY.
The all ireland final was today. During the game one player lost teeth, the referee received a head injury and a member of the winning team had his arm in a sling when collecting his winners medal, don't even know how he was injured.
Baseball is quite old as well. Most Americans are incorrectly told it is based on cricket. It is actually based on the Celtic sport of Rounders. A game played across the British Isles.
Not only are these Guy's amateurs they hold down day jobs too. There were documentaries made where Hurlers and Gaelic footballers changed places with professional Baseball players, cricket players, Ice Hockey players, Rugby players, American football players etc. Not only did the professional players play at the local level, they had to do their "day jobs) also. Best TV I have ever seen. Lee Chen from Waterford went to Canada to play Ice Hockey + he had the added stress of learning how to skate on Ice !!! Programme was called "Fair Trade"
Hurling is one of the oldest field games in the world and is popular for at least 3000 years in Ireland with the first literary reference dating back to 1272 BC.
There is an english guy Nimh that does videos on loads of sports from around the world. Despite some mispronounciations of some Irish terms, he does a good summary of the sports rules and nuances. I grew up in Canada, and one of my friends was a massive lacrosse fan, and he used to talk about lacrosse being the fastest field sport. I disagreed and said hurling was. This was before the modern internet and youtube etc. The main Canadian sporting channel used to show the finals of the championships in Gaelic Football(the other big Gaelic sport) and Hurling a few weeks after they were played, and he watched the hurling and phoned me up to concede defeat, and what blew his mind even more, was that many of the players didn't wear helmets back then.(its become standard in the last few decades) A couple of other little tidbits.... the Gaelic Athletic Association is actually quite active in the US, in particular around Boston, NY and Chicago as you could imagine with the Irish populations of those cities. And in the 1904 St. Louis Olympics, Hurling and Gaelic Football were actually demostration sports,with matches played between various US GAA clubs. RTÉ the Irish national tv station had. a show a few years ago, called the Toughest Trade, where they would send a Hurler or Gaelic footballer to play some other sport and have a player from that sport come to Ireland to Hurling or Football. For example sent one Hurler off to Vancouver to play hockey with the Canucks. In one episode they sent a hurler off to play baseball. Forget where in the US. But the lad was playing in the outfield, and complained that the glove was just a hinderance, and would be catching the ball in his bare hand like he would in hurling, and the rest of the players were just amazed by how good he was at it, without injuring himself.
Surname Kings are in my county, Irish name. Hurling is the name of the game and they use a Hurley hence the name Hurling. Now here is a question for you this occurred in the mid 1800s influenced by the Irish game of what? Ice hockey in Nova Scotia!
Other way round. Ice Hockry derived from Hurling as did Shinty. Shinty as played today is more like Hockey, similar shaped sticks and mostly played on the ground. I might be wrong, but I think Ice Hockey predates hockey. When the Gaeils traveled to Canada they adapted hurling to fit the athmosfere/conditions Cold hard icey ground.
Hurling is an Ancient Irish Sport,as popular now as any sport at any time. The BAT is called a HURL and the Ball is called a SLITAR,made of Leather and can cause a lot of damage if you get hit with it. It is one of if not the fastest sports ever. If you get back to visit arrange to go to a match it will scare the living f##k out of you 😂😂😂😂😂
We speak irish, Gaelic is Scotland, all Ireland teams go to America to play American Irish teams, to train them & develope their skills, watch Co, Clare, limerick and tipperary or kilkenny for a lightning match
Technically we speak Irish Gaelic (Gailge in Irish) just people are used to calling it irish. Scots Gaelic is the Scotish Gaelic language, Briton is the Gaelic in North France Britany while Cornish is the Gaelic language of Cornwall South England, and Welsh is the Celtic language of Wales. Celtic/Gaelic language is one of the sub groups that derived from Indo European as did the the romance languages like French and Latin, while the Germanic languages also splintered from this Indo European including German, Dutch and English. Celtic languages are the oldest languages in Britain possibly dating back 4000 years. So everything evolves, so Hurling- Hockey and Hurling - Shinty etc. But please watch the 2024 Hurling All-Ireland Final as it is one of the best games I've seen.
THE most important thing about hurling, and GAA football, is that they are played by 'amateurs' (no pay)... ALL of the players have day jobs - it is for the love of the game and the community it creates that people play Respect & Peace ☘
Yes, Many cities in America that have large Irish history have exhibition games and recently added to the original 32 counties of Ireland were New York and London to the football, none from outside the nation to Hurling yet.
th-cam.com/video/PoViqHOY-XY/w-d-xo.html All Ireland Hurling Final 2024 in the mentioned Croke Park Dublin. You are correct it is the famous Fenway Park in Boston in the vid. Due to the large Irish diaspora in Boston, New York and Chicago, exhibition games have often been held in those cities. New York is a 'County' that participates in Gealic Games, mainly the very different but associated Gaelic Football (part of the origin of Austrailian Rules Football a fusion of Rugby and Gaelic Football) also worth a watch at its higest level. There are many vids of top 10 moments and the odd 'shmozzle' - not so much in the modern game but was an old way of laying down a marker with a bunch of players duking it out, Ice Hockey like.
you asked about the leagues well its very complicated because its amateur and no contracts players depending on how good they are play with there village team ,college team if they are in college, and the elite level which is to play for the county. For simplicity i will stick with the county. The main competition is the Liam McCarthy cup this is divided into Munster and Leinster championship. Munster is the best in terms of attendance as i said in another comment but the teams are as good in Leinster they are 5 teams in Munster they play round robin 4 games ,the first two qualify for the Munster final ,the third place team stays in and plays a preliminary quarterfinal against the finalists from the lower McDonagh cup which is not a formality Liam McCarthy cup teams have gone home with the tail between there legs and the last two are eliminated from the competition. Leinster is the same except they are 6 teams. The provincial winners go automatically into the semifinal ,the losing finalists into the quarterfinals where they meet the prelim winners. Then there's the semifinals and then final which always sells out 82000 every year. Hope that's clear
The game has been cleaned up a lot since i played 50 years ago. Then there were no helmets. I love it now though. The skill level and athleticism is off the scale compared to those days. .
@@eamonnmacamhlaoibh4427 agreed. Hurley yes. for some reason Kilkenny seem to call it a hurl. But that is something you jump over in athletics or horse racing.
Hurling is a brilliant game of speed, skill,bravery and lots more. It is a game played by amateurs and the final is played in Croke Park,Dublin,capacity over 82000 owned by an amateur organisation.
Also, this is a documentary and thats fine, what you need to do is watch the latest Hurling final, held a couple of weeks ago, it was reported to be an all time classic between two of the lesser tier teams who both beat the odds to make the final.
it was a good first video to react to in terms of the historical and cultural significance,but it doesn't give an indication of how fast and popular it is.This years munster championship played in the southern region of the republic of ireland will have an attendance of over 300 000 which is a quarter of the population of munster and from only 11 games. The Irish language he refered to is what you americans call gaelic but we call it irish. Game or Match is used interchangeably for example the tv programe that broadcasts live intercounty matches is the sunday game and the saturday whereas if you attended a game you would probably say i was at the match. The game usually lasts 60 minutes but the intercounty senior games are 70 minutes The last five minutes of 2014 all ireland or the last 15minutes of 2013 final are well worth a watch.In terms of rules ninh ly hurling explained is probably the best though as he is an englishmanhis pronounciations are off a bit and there have been quite a few rule changes since he made the video its still good. Fenway park and wrigley field were used for exhibition matches,but as these fields are much smaller a special format called super 11s was created
It was croke park you were at in 2007 as the other main stadium AVIVA/landsdowne rd was being redeveloped.Rugby and soccer were played in croke park at that time because they had no other stadium normally croke park is reserved for gaelic football and hurling and that was the first time they were allowed to be played there.Rugby was played there since this year as the AVIVa was unavailable as it was hosting a major soccer European final .That was the first time since 2010 that rugby was played there. You may think my use of soccer is because you are american not the case soccer is often used in ireland to refer to Association football and Football meaning Gaelic football.It depends on region and favourite sport so its not quite like america and context usually helps to distinguish the sports.For example if someone plays football for dublin that means gaelic football because there is no such thing as the dublin soccer team whereas if they play football for ireland thats soccer because Gaelic football doesn't have anirish national team there is a team of gaelic footballers that plays a hybrid game with the AFL but thats not gaelic football as such.
Irish Hurling is from before historical records began, started as training for kids to become warriors, evolved over time to a sport, as did football, there are 2 main sports Hurling and Football, there are plenty of videos online but this is 1 th-cam.com/video/HHISJf5bc0g/w-d-xo.html . Yes it is in the blood, no payment just pride.
And all the players play for the county they were born and live in. All amateur players. Played for the love and pride of your county and no monetary gain. Womens version is called camoige
This video will explain it a bit more, and yes, that is Fenway park in the US. Games are played in the US every so often. th-cam.com/video/TmzivRetelE/w-d-xo.html
So cool that he's third generation on a professional level. Similar to Lacrosse, which is one of only two Native American sports known. Though I don't think Lacrosse ever included human sacrifices. I would have to look into that.
What’s even cooler is that it ISN’T professional, it’s purely amateur all the way up and down, it means you play for the pride of your county, not for money!
@@eoinhudson5073 I stand corrected, though by professional I really mean At the top level. I know money comes in the picture to some degree, just not the amounts that constitutes a career. Uniforms and equipment, especially custom, requires money to make, even if it comes from sponsors or patreons. Though a field can be borrowed, as long as their design isn't too different. There is at least one stadium in the United States Of America where Baseball and Football are played, which is easiest to see in the early Fall, when their seasons overlap.
@@bartonbagnes4605 Hurling and gaelic football(GAA) have to have their own pitches they can't borrow from other codes like soccer and rugby as the pitches are too small.It actually works the other way around soccer and rugby use GAA pitches but not that often for historical reasons as the codes didn't get on until the the late noughties,but rugby games have been played in GAA stadiums recently.Soccer is mostly an urban game in ireland and rugby though very popular as a spectator sport,it has much less participation than gaelic sports with the result that GAA pitches are more common and they are owned by the GAA either directly or by individual GAA clubs.There is no such thing as in other parts of europe as the local authority leasing out the pitch the GAA own all the fields they play on in ireland.Basically most of the money made goes back into facilities.When gaelic games are played abroad usually they have to accept reduced players on a team and play on soccer ,rugby,baseball and AF fields,exception being countries where cricket is popular like Australia full GAA matches can be played as the cricket pitch is big enough to accomodate Gaelic games.
2:05 😂😂😂 what came first, Hurling or Baseball. 😂 sure Hurling is over 3000 years old. Ancient warriors use to play this game to practice for battle, all the way up to the war of independence from the English. Where they'd turn the but of tge hurley into the armpit and the hand hook part used for the scope. 😅 baseball dirives from an Irish/English sport called rounders. 😅 Aussie rules comes from Gaelic football. When the English sent all the irish trouble makers l, patriots, revolutionaries, prisoners to Australia, from Ireland, they brought Gaelic football with them.
If you,re going to talk about something do your homework instead of making inane ignorant comments. Hurling for your information is more than 3 thousand years old + in the west of ireland most people speak gaelic ( Celtic Irish ). The game was played in ancient times on a plain that was at least 300 yards long with a goal at each end.😅😂
Yes gaelic football and hurling are amateur sports. Most players hav😂e a day job they work at. Up till about 30 years ago, it wasn't unusual to have a priest on the county team. Some local parish teams would still have a priest on the team.
Ah Jesus that wasn't looking at hurling. Type in into TH-cam Clare vs Cork 2024 all Ireland final and sit back and watch one of the best sports in the world
Hi, best match ever was the Clare v Cork All Ireland Hurling Final 2024. Just a few weeks ago. You get get it on plenty of links. It will show you the best Hurling ever! Definitely the fastest ball sport ever. An ancien sport from our distant Celtic Past. THE Hurl is the bat carved out of Ash wood. The Sliotar, ball is made of leather, very similar to a baseball. Enjoy match. It’s the Best. Dee ☘☘☘☘☘
AFL was created from GAA influence, many say it came from cricketers bastardisation of rugby and some say from native aboriginal sport but the main influence in the late 1900s came from Irish football. 90% of the play style and rules are based from Irish Football

There is at least one stadium in the United States Of America where Baseball and Football are played, which is easiest to see in the early Fall, when their seasons overlap.
What’s even cooler is its thousands of years old
the pawnee practiced human sacrifice but i don't know wheather they played lacrosse
@@bartonbagnes4605 Hurling and gaelic football(GAA) have to have their own pitches they can't borrow from other codes like soccer and rugby as the pitches are too small.It actually works the other way around soccer and rugby use GAA pitches but not that often for historical reasons as the codes didn't get on until the the late noughties,but rugby games have been played in GAA stadiums recently.Soccer is mostly an urban game in ireland and rugby though very popular as a spectator sport,it has much less participation than gaelic sports with the result that GAA pitches are more common and they are owned by the GAA either directly or by individual GAA clubs.There is no such thing as in other parts of europe as the local authority leasing out the pitch the GAA own all the fields they play on in ireland.Basically most of the money made goes back into facilities.When gaelic games are played abroad usually they have to accept reduced players on a team and play on soccer ,rugby,baseball and AF fields,exception being countries where cricket is popular like Australia full GAA matches can be played as the cricket pitch is big enough to accomodate Gaelic games.
Yes they play for free the pride of the jersery up the rebels 😊
Australia rules football comes from. Irish gaelic football.
'Don't know which one came first'
There are references to Hurling being played over 3,000 years ago, so to answer the question...Ehh no :)
The players are not paid. They play and train on days off. A championship game is 70 minutes
Its a hurl and a sliother
Grass always seems to slow me down. In fact I often feel quite lethargic after smoking it.

2:05 😂😂😂 what came first, Hurling or Baseball. 😂 sure Hurling is over 3000 years old. Ancient warriors use to play this game to practice for battle, all the way up to the war of independence from the English. Where they'd turn the but of tge hurley into the armpit and the hand hook part used for the scope. 😅 baseball dirives from an Irish/English sport called rounders. 😅 Aussie rules comes from Gaelic football. When the English sent all the irish trouble makers l, patriots, revolutionaries, prisoners to Australia, from Ireland, they brought Gaelic football with them.
You should do garlic best sport
lets just be clear...king family reacts, muppets
You should react to rugby
If you,re going to talk about something do your homework instead of making inane ignorant comments. Hurling for your information is more than 3 thousand years old + in the west of ireland most people speak gaelic ( Celtic Irish ). The game was played in ancient times on a plain that was at least 300 yards long with a goal at each end.😅😂
@@user-pv7zz6yp9m If you don't understand the point of reaction videos is to go in blind to learn about something then don't watch them 😁
Yes gaelic football and hurling are amateur sports. Most players hav😂e a day job they work at. Up till about 30 years ago, it wasn't unusual to have a priest on the county team. Some local parish teams would still have a priest on the team.
Spent a month in Dublin why get out of Dublin see the real ireland go down the country head west or south
Ah Jesus that wasn't looking at hurling. Type in into TH-cam Clare vs Cork 2024 all Ireland final and sit back and watch one of the best sports in the world

Hi, best match ever was the Clare v Cork All Ireland Hurling Final 2024. Just a few weeks ago.

Hurling ever! Definitely the fastest ball sport ever.
An ancien sport from our distant Celtic Past.
THE Hurl is the bat carved out of Ash wood.
The Sliotar, ball is made of leather, very similar to a baseball.
Enjoy match. It’s the Best. Dee ☘☘☘☘☘
No no no....AFL is king..react to Mason cox don't believe in never...the great story of the American playing AFL...ya Goofy m8te from Australia
Coming tomorrow 😁
AFL was created from GAA influence, many say it came from cricketers bastardisation of rugby and some say from native aboriginal sport but the main influence in the late 1900s came from Irish football. 90% of the play style and rules are based from Irish Football
