Gaelic is still more or less amateur or at least at the top level semi-pro in that players at County level all have a M-F job.

Very few non-Catholics play Gaelic.

well from what ive seen...

in gaelic footy, it is used on a rectangle field, like soccer/rugby. they use a round ball, they handpass, for goals, they have a soccer goal + a rugby-like goal. they go for 2 35min halves. theres 15 players a team, you score by kicking the ball in the soccer goal or rugby style through the posts.

One key similarity between Gaelic Football, Australian Football and American Football is that they are viewed as the very pinnacle of sport within their respective countries, and that at some point, they had the self-belief to play their own game, rather than import another's game.

So, Wills, an ethnic , starts this whole thing off in 1858
Quote:
On 31 July, a knock-a-bout match at Yarra Park was played between a "St Kilda scratch team" and "Melbourne scratch team". Trees were used for goal posts and there were no boundaries and the match lasted from 1 p.m. until dark. There were no rules and fights frequently broke out. Melbourne being a relatively young city, the majority of the early players were migrants and the media of the time noted that participants of each nationality played the game their own distinctive way

Not sure if Gaelic Football or Hurling were "the pinnacle of sport" back in Ireland in June and July this year.
