Gaelic Football, Hurling, Handball and Rounders
Since the formal establishment of the GAA, in 1884, Gaelic Games can be covered in four very different ways, which have their own rules and competitions.
Although these arrangements do not originate in sports with which we are familiar, to give an idea of what would be defined as follows:
GAELIC FOOTBALL: It is a mixture of soccer and rugby, with characteristics similar to basketball and volleyball.
HURLING: It would be a mix between Gaelic football and hockey grass.
HANDBALL: It's like "Pelota Vasca".
ROUNDERS: It's like Baseball.
