The GAA is an organization that was founded in 1884 and focuses on promoting Irish sports such as hurling and Gaelic football.

Football

Gaelic Football looks like a mixture of soccer and rugby but Gaelic Football actually predates both games. The ball used in Gaelic Football is round and similar to a soccer ball, but slightly smaller in size. Per game regulations, the ball can be carried in the hand for a distance of four steps and can be kicked or hand-passed. After every four steps, the ball must either be bounced or dropped onto the foot and kicked back into the hand. The ball may never be bounced twice in a row. 

Hurling

Known as Europe's oldest and fastest field game, similar to hockey and played with a small ball and curved wooden stick that is made from the finest ash wood.

Setanta Sports will show one or sometimes 2 GAA matches per week during the Championship season.
