Visit the GAA Museum

A museum dedicated to hurling, camogie and Gaelic soccer!

Let’s face it: the GAA Museum is unlike any other sports museum you’ll ever visit!

Not only will he introduce you to Ireland’s great national sports, but he’ll also show you how the GAA has preserved these sports and made them part of Ireland’s cultural heritage to this day!

You’ll discover the subtleties of hurling, with its equipment and rules halfway between field hockey and soccer. You can also test your Gaelic soccer skills by practicing throws, all in a 100% interactive play zone…

Finally, you’ll have the opportunity to attend match broadcasts to get a better idea of the atmosphere and strategic stakes involved in these sports!

And don’t miss the museum’s Hall of Fame, where the greatest Irish Gaelic sportsmen and women are honored.

A great time for sports fans!
