Sports In Ireland
All
major international team sports are played in Ireland, but the most popular
games are the two uniquely native ones of Gaelic football and hurling.
Most of the big games, plus soccer and rugby international are sold out
well in advance. However, if you can get a ticket you'll find plenty of
company with whom to watch the events in the pubs. Horse racing with over
240 days of racing a year, attracts fanatical support.
Those who want to
do more than just watch can choose between fishing, golf, cycling, tennis,
walking and water sports. For those keen on participatory sports there
are also Ireland's famous fishing waters and golf courses. With a coastline
of over 4800 km, small wonder that water sports are among Ireland's favourite
recreational activities. Surfing, windsurfing, water-skiing, scuba diving
and canoeing are the most popular. Your entire holidays can be based on
any of the above activities.
