22grena In fairness a chairde, there's been hundreds of clubs set up across the world and the GAA's being trying, but there's only so much you can do when the sport's not professional. That's not to say they should, it's a beautiful game and if money comes into it it'll get corrupted like everything else in Ireland where there's money involved. If it became Olympic it'd be brilliant but it has to be played in over 100 countries, hurling's only played in about 30.
Dáire Mag Shamhráin The GAA had a massive number of children born to Irish parents who left the country, in the UK for instance, and made no effort to introduce them to the game.
Love this sport! Unfortunately it will never be brought to the USA because there aren't enough breaks in the action to fit in a hundred commercials per game like American football.
Club hurling is best & while the skill levels are still very low clubs are popping up all over. Even though the USGAA has made it difficult to get help. But there hurling. I have taught endless curious youngsters who were curious what I was doing while drilling at my local wall. Greatest sport on earth! Up the Cats!
@@smidirini5678 this. Not sure what Robert Clark is talking about. Try doing a little research before posting so authoritatively. If we haven't surpassed 1000 clubs we're well on our way. Try starting one Robert. The USGAA has tons of resources and funds available for official USGAA clubs, or you can for less formal clubs.
As an american I've only heard of hurling through this sports podcast i listen to (sportsball by Roosterteeth if anyone is wondering).... this sport looks CRAZY!! It's like the stick action & physical checking of Lacrosse & hitting motion of baseball, The scoring of Football (goals like global football, field goal like american football). Man i LOVE watching international sports!
+Mr. Chase Music Its also none professional, and we play for our club and county if your good enough. THe game itself is over 2000 years old. Its like a religion for a lot of people in Ireland
Oisin O Lochlainn Lacrosse is very popular where I live (which is just outside Dallas) as far as participating in the sport. It's not a big spectator sport, but everybody knows about it. My husband played, so I watched a lot of his matches. There were never very many people in the stands. (American) football is just such a huge thing that not a lot of the general population cares about any other sport. Real Texas high school football makes "Friday Night Lights" look like a fairy tea party. It's a stereotype, but it's very true. It's a religious experience -- seriously. Football and Christianity seem to go together as you'll almost always see players praying before games and in the locker room. Lacrosse is very different. It's sort of a posh thing. It's usually only rich kids who play it.
Addy Norman "Friday Night Lights" look like a fairy tea party. lol I like that...Thats interesting, do the native Americans still play it? And another question for you if you don't mind. What is the national sport of the US? I always figured it was baseball
i was from england but my mom moved to ireland we moved into KILKENNY and i went to the match it was brilliant even though my mom moved in with tj and were a family and me dad is watching the match now with me
I go across youtube and all i see is americans mocking foreign sports. All of them, except hurling. Either there are only nice americans here or this sport really is awesome, i'm guessing both, hurling is great! And i love to see how irish people have this passion for their native sports, liam mccarthy cup-game at croke park seems to have as much viewers as f.ex champions league final! Go ireland
Still hurling is not as widespread in ireland as it should be .The GAA are the governing body and they have gaelic football as well and in theory every GAA club should play both and many do but the majority concentrate on football only with only the southern counties except antrim concentrating on hurling.If croke park was twice as big it would sellout for the sam maguire cup final but not hurling 82000 is as much as will go.However because it is confined to a small area the passion is more intense.There are many americans mocking it
2025 could be Galway 's year i will make a early prediction A Cork Galway All-Ireland final next summer and The Tribesmen to prevail over the Rebels by 2 points.
There was no three in a row and no more all Ireland's since for Kilkenny, hard to believe now this was the last win of that great Kilkenny team as they looked like they would win more , the panel did not see it coming to an end as well.
If you'd like to pursue this sport in America, there are at least a hundred clubs. You just have to look in to your location and find a club. I live in Ohio and there is only one club that I know in Ohio but some states have more. I play for the Akron Celtic Guards.
If you'd like to get more information, I'd suggest following them on Twitter or Facebook. That is updated most often. @AkronHurling. I can look in to more contact information, but if you'd like, you can come to a match this Saturday (25th) at noon. The address is 1535 Vernon Odom Blvd, Akron, OH 44320. Were you at the Riverfront Irish fest Last wknd?
Kilkenny no hurling in them anymore, wont win an all ireland for another 5 or 6 years or if not more no more young lads coming up, limerick still the greatest weve seen if they win next year no question
***** Ach I hear ye there - hardly any of the Kerry football fans turn up to their senior league games or any of the qualifiers until they're in the Munster Final or the fuckin Quarter, semi or AI finals. Same goes for the hurling down here. Hardly any of them realised how well we'd been doing until we won the Christy Ring and got into the Liam McCarthy cup this year. Although I can't complain when some gorgeous feeks turn up ;)
***** Yep! They might know TJ Reid but that's it! I'm not saying I could list out the players in any of the county teams but at least I know who the majority of the lads are :D
Teams play their heart and soul out against teams like cork and tipperary who would give kilkenny a good game to the final whistle and make them work and Galway shit themselves against kilkenny twice and for some reason the media was behind them,this was never going to be a Galway win,they lost two games by cowering to kilkenny and conceided 3 goals in the semi final against tipp and their goalkeeper got an all star?WHY? Tipp got one all star and Waterford got 3 or something despite losing twice like Galway in the championship...Zane Keenan of Laois was the 2nd top scorer in the country with a shite team and didn't get a nomination...what is wrong with the GAA?
Darragh Dowling Probably better than Laois, one of the worst division 1 teams in the history of the GAA, they just wont go away and couldnt win a game of cards, they say the set up is horrid and mafia like there
first of all Colm Callanan kept 2 clean sheets and also made some brilliant saves in that year's championship aswell as in that semi final. Waterford got one all star because they won the league, got to the munster final and then the semi-final. Second of all how much you score doesn't matter when the scores could be shite. Colin Ryan was the top scorer for 2013 and the vast majority of those came from frees, so they could be good scores but it's nothing compared to some of the shit you can get from play.
Kilkenny won so many All Ireland finals at that point they felt sorry for the Tipperary, Galway and Limerick teams who went on to win sympathy titles to save the intercounty game for the GAA headquarters. Without Kilkenny the championship would never have lasted as long as it has done because for many years the only strongholds of club and county hurling were entirely focused within the province of Munster. Up stepped little county Kilkenny and showed the Munster Kings how to hurl :)
Kilkenny are always a Top 3 team, just in the last few years it's hard for the Ballyhale lads to hurl for both club and county especially since they got to the club all ireland finals every year
@@JayJay-dm8bnThis is the reason the majority counties dislike Kilkenny, arrogant clowns like you. Limerick are the top team now regardless of your flakey win on Sunday.
@@lawrencestroll85598 years since the cats won an all Ireland,they were beat 2 years in a row by Limerick 😂 I love their skill, great hurler's no shadow of a doubt about that but seriously their were better teams than Kilkenny, Kilkenny are begrudgers simple as that, bad sore losers,they couldn't accept Limerick Got the 4 in a row Sunday,well they did 😊I'm from offaly,I should be for Leinster team's,not a hope 😂😂sorry for ranting😂😂
Canning got one ball in the second half, then he was fouled and he missed an easy free...he doesn't fight for or win his own ball, if you watch his style of play, when he came on the scene he did, but after a couple of years, he just stood back and waited for a pass...
Not trying to be offensive at all here; why is it they all have different color helmets?? something about that seems a little "un-professional" to me...can someone explain this?
christopher hurst Well firstly there not professional they are ordinary men with full time jobs who train and play during their spare time .Secondly helmets were only made compulsory in 2010 so a protocol for the wearing of them has not developed yet.Also these are teams are made up of the best players in each county meaning that they also play for their clubs therefore if they had team colours on the helmet it would mean they would have to buy two helmets which are very expensive.Some of the players namely joe canning makes the sticks for a living which is probably unique in modern sport
Christopher Hurst, I agree it does look unprofessional or tacky and it always irks me, I even emailed the GAA on this matter. At inter county level the county should provide the helmets with team colour, to the players , it can't be that much of a financial hit to the GAA to do so...
James Harrison NO! THEY AREN'T EVEN PROFESSIONAL! DOES IT MATTER WHAT COLOUR THEY ARE!? The reason they have different helmets is so the commentators can say "Joe Canning there in the white helmet" For instance. So no you are incorrect!
+Riza Yudhistira (Yudhist) The difference is a soccer player will get stick in the press for bad behaviour such as diving alright.Hurlers will get it from there neighbours fellow villagers fellow work colleagues who he is representing on the field.They train seven times a week and work full time very different from a rich millionaire soccer player who can rest between games and training sessions
christian gerhardt Does not really generate enough money for fulltime professionalism.Its a very regional game in a small country,the average attendance is fairly good,but sponsorship and tv money is fairly low.Still the players could be paid,but the grass roots would suffer and participation would go into sharp decline.
How is hurling not a world wide sport like soccer? This is far better than anything I've seen in a while!
+Arthur Roy Well because only in the last few years have they tried to promote it
+Arthur Roy Because soccer is driven by money.
Hurling is driven by people's love of the game.
+stoney71 More shame on the GAA for their lack of ambition and lack of imagination.

80 000 is afair % of the irish population of 6 and a half million for the island and 4 and half for the republic.
