Found a local hurling club in Denver 4 years ago and it's quickly become my all-time favorite sport. Wish I would've found it years ago. Hon the Denver Gaels!
fair play, love seeing the game played outside of Ireland. it's too good a game to keep within Ireland. best sport in the world, in terms of the required skill, athleticism and physicality it has to be way up there with the most difficult sports in the world to play at any kind of moderately decent level. haven't played in a long while but played at least 15 or 20 hrs a week from the age of 5 to my mid twenties.

It was 1972 on the subway in Toronto on a beautiful summer day and there were 3 lads with what I thought were ax handles. I asked one of them what were those ax handles, they looked at each other and answered in thick Irish accents, that they were hurling game sticks. I said I had never heard of it. In these days the matches were between Irish pubs. He invited us to see what it was about. We showed up and saw how brutal and mesmerizing the game was until one goalie was very badly injured. Those were the days with no helmets. I still remember, though, how attractive that subway rider was. Maybe it was my grandma Murphy’s blood that called to me to attend. ❤️🇨🇦
The crazy thing is all these guys are amateurs. There is no pros and they don’t get payed for it. They play for the love of the sport and county and then go onto their day jobs during the week
@@lapsusdemon6353 yeah. Unlike the bigger sports this is very unfunded and barley anyone besides the Irish know about it so the money isn't big for these guys.

I've used this video twice to help describe hurling to people from around Europe. Both times their minds were blown. Thank you for this resource. Up the deise
When I would visit my uncle in Leitrim, we would always watch the match of the week on RTE and IIRC, a hurling match would be on every other week. I fell in love with the sport. The fitness of the top teams is unbelievable and even more unbelievable when you realize they are all amateurs. We loved watching GAA football, but "iománaíocht" was on a different level. My uncle would just say when asked to describe it, "the loveliest sport in Ireland." I was lucky enough to get tickets to the 2014 All Ireland between Tipp and the Cats. Took my breath away! Seeing panels of that quality, the only description truly is "poetry in motion".
@@chuka755 I' m not sure what playing in front of thousands has to do with being pro or amateur, but yes, the GAA is an amateur organization. However, who knows what perks a successful player receives from the community. I'd be willing to bet that a Kilkenny player with a few All Ireland championships under his belt will never have to buy a pint in his county! I have a cousin who was quite a good GAA footballer and who is well known and respected in his county. He and I would drive around the county and I guarantee you he was known by EVERYONE and he never had to pay for anything! Other than that, who knows what they get for being outstanding athletes.
Had my first "practice" last night after our Football training (Edmonton WolfeTones). I've had prior opportunity to attempt it, and have been hesitant, but after last night it was a lot of fun. Made for a good end to training... First game is this Saturday. 😄
@Bryan Jordan well play your hockey and fuck off for yourself. And by the way hockey has it origins from hurling over 250 years ago. From us Irish, so basically hockey is Irish
a lot of respect for Irish guys for following their heritage and their support towards these sports especially Gaelic football and hurling are just Awesome ☘️❤️
I was introduced to Hurling when I went on a student ambassador trip in 2004. Ireland was one of our stops, and though we didn’t get to see a game we did get a short tour of inside a stadium and there was like a squash room type spot where you could practice scoring goals at a target with either the sticks (not sure what they’re called) or what I assumed was a sister version of the game but more like futbol using your feet.
Attended an under 17s match in Kilkenny this spring, it was mesmerizing. at halftime, all the kids run out on the field with their hurley and play! I then found a hurley artisan who shared his process, family history, etc. with me. Have never seen so much sawdust in my life but Mr. Bulfin was so kind, even invited me to tea in his kitchen!
Did you know that ice hockey originated from hurling. Irish immigrants who emigrated to Canada wanted to play hurling but could not due to the frozen lakes. Hence, they created the game of ice hockey
History behind hurling is crazy the English used execute the Irish for playing it but it was such a rough game that threw Irish volunteers used recruit their best soldiers from games. Also Bloody Sunday took place where Croke park now is (3rd largest stadium in europe) when the English killed many 14 people for playing the sport
i think this sport is amazing. The techniques to play this game at a high level is awesome. As an former ameriacan football player. I can related to the physicality, but the skill is amazing. similar to Hockey. I love it. wish i got to play as a younger man.
Canadian here. It's fun to see the helmets the players are wearing. It's the sk 100 model by Cooper. It was worn to play hockey during the .......seventies !
Another great year ahead. As a Corkman though, I wish we were in Leinster! Provincial championships have to go. Under the provincial system, Galway and Kikenny are, and will remain, the only two counties virtually gauranteed knockout hurling every single year.
Never seen a sport like that..incredible 😮😮in my Country it doesn't exist at all.. neither is it possible watch it on TV...Soon or later I'll go to Ireland..I have to do it😊
We have a hiking group hosting a friendly training session for this. As an American, I've never heard of this. I will try it for the first time tomorrow. It looks awesome.
@@butlersg1"trying to bate lumps out of ya" 😂 I once heard a fella saying he had the choice to play either rugby or hurling in school. He chose rugby - he said "I wasn't tough enough to play Hurling - them lads are mental!" 😂👍
@@garydillon8634 Well yes, it is. But it certainly isn't popular whatsoever. I meant that I wished it was played with more popularity in the USA. For example, my college apparently has the country's oldest collegiate hurling team. I didn't even know they had one until I looked it up on the college's club database. So yes, while it is played here, it is by no means popular or even well known.
@@garydillon8634 that might be the case, but that doesn't make it popular. The USA also has a cricket team, but you'd be kidding yourself if you think cricket is popular in the United States. Hurling may be marginally popular in certain areas in the United States, but it certainly isn't nationwide.

wow-never heard of this until today-I want to play!...interesting how it evolved in Gaelic history and a very similar game at the same time from native Americans
Unfortunately my friend if you're able to write or type which you clearly are then the time for learning has come and gone. It's actually quiet dangerous for people to start later than 7 or 8 max. The reflexes to protect yourself when someone unexpectedly swings to strike the ball aren't learned in later life. Unless you can find somewhere that does some sort of non contact version. I think they call it baseball.😁👍
@@daithiisanimdom Dangerous, utter nonsense. It depends on what level you want to play. Being brave is a big part but the modern hurling game is much more about speed and athleticism. There are very few bad injuries today compared to when I played.
So you can carry it in your hand for up to four steps before you have to 'solo' it on the hurl (stick). In practice the game is so fast that you'll get away with a couple more steps. Kind of like travelling rule in basketball.
@@matthewedgeworth4509 ahh thank you i figured it was something like that. I assume with the amount of people playing and the size of the field you would actually get away with a few more steps most of the time you tried.
Compared to Gaelic football, hurling their is a lot effort that goes into the game . It's a shame their isn't more teams in the hurling Championship like you do Gaelic football. Both great games. There is nothing can compete hurling and Gaelic football.
History behind hurling is crazy the English used execute the Irish for playing it but it was such a rough game that threw Irish volunteers used recruit their best soldiers from games. Also Bloody Sunday took place where Croke park now is (3rd largest stadium in europe) when the English killed many 14 people for playing the sport
It's the oldest sport in the world - so Hurling is the Daddy of the other sports if anything! The Irish brought it with them wherever they went - it naturally evolved into other games. 👍
Wow!! This is crazy! How do you get the ball off a guy when he's holding it in his hand? Is it true that you're only allowed a side to side shoulder tackle?
Yup it is. And when someone has a ball in their hand they are allowed to take 4 steps (usually you get away with more than 4 and if you stand still you can hold it for 4 seconds) after that you have to release it and tap it on your hurl and that’s how you win the ball
Ah yes, another sport and another unnecessary bringing up football for no reason. Amazing how many people who are mad that the best sport in the world is also the most popular are there. Hope you realize it’ll be the nr 1 sport forever.
This looks physical more demanding than American Football and i have no idea what this sport is, but i like it coming from an American. How does the games work? Is there a regular season? Is there a playoff with a championship finish? Interesting sport
The main one is the county championships which they play for the provincial and then All Ireland title. Every player on a county team also plays for a club team . But you can only play for your local club and home county so no transfers. it's an amateur sport so all players have regular jobs. They play for pride and the love of their community
Glad you found interesting, but it's nothing to do with lacrosse. The modern sport of hockey (the NHL kind) actually owes a lot to hurling as Irish immigrants who went to Canada in the 19th century brought hurling with them which fed into the development of the sport.
Fellow New Jerseyian here Joe. I have played Hurling for the Hoboken club for the past 6 years and started a team at Kean University as well as the New York County team that just won the Native World Games division. I always described Hurling almost as a cross between Hockey, Lacrosse, and Baseball but 4000 years older than those sports! If you’re ever interested in seeing a game let me know!
@@ihonestlydontcare1158 imma gonna be honest,I find gaelic football way more interesting than normal football.The skills required, strategies and tactics are way more in gaelic than association. But yea hurling solos both
Does the insult "head the ball", meaning a lunatic, originate from Hurling? You'd have to be mad to head a Hurling ball (it has a Gaelic name that I can't pronounce), whilst it descends onto your cranium at 90 mph...
I am from India. Cricket is most popular sports here but since 2011, India never won any world cup. So, looking for some alternate sports and this one seems interesting. How to play this sports and what are the rules can someone provide me link about this popular Irish sport.
