Gaelic Sports Betting
Although Gaelic Sports were created in Ireland, they are popular around the world. Many people will be familiar with Gaelic Football but many may not be aware that we also accept bets on Gaelic Hurling, Handball and Rounders.
All of these competitions are organised by the Gaelic Athletic Association and are played across men's and women's teams.
What may come as a surprise to many is that Gaelic games are Ireland's most popular sports with Rugby Union and Football sitting in second and third place.
You can find the latest odds across the most popular Gaelic sports right here, with a wide range of odds available.
Betting on Gaelic Football
How does Gaelic Football Work?
Gaelic Football is a little different from the regular game of rugby, with teams of up to fifteen players playing on a rectangular grass pitch and aiming to score over the H-shaped goals.
However, to score, you need to drive and push the ball into the goal, which will give you three points.
An alternative method of goal scoring is kicking the ball over the bar, which would provide players with one point. The women's version of the game has a few minor changes.
Meanwhile, when the game is played in different countries, bettors may find fewer players on teams with as few as seven players needed on each side.

The main competition for Gaelic Football is the All-Ireland Senior Championship.

Betting on Gaelic Hurling
How does Gaelic Hurling work?
Gaelic Hurling is a popular sport in Ireland. It is played with a stick and a ball on a field with H-shaped goals at each end, similar to Gaelic Football.
The point system of the game is also very similar, with players scoring three points for driving the ball between the posts and one point for hitting the ball above the goal. It is a game that combines skills from Lacrosse, Field Hockey, and Baseball in a unique game with a high skill level.

Betting on Gaelic Handball
How does Gaelic Handball work?
Similar to the American version of Handball, Gaelic Handball can be played in four formats: the Big Alley, which is 60x30, the Small Alley, which is 40x20, the 1-Wall, and the Hardball, which is played on a Softball court.
The aim of the sport is for players to hit the ball against a wall, creating a shot that is difficult for the opponent to return.
Betting on other Gaelic Sports
Rounders is the only other Gaelic Sport regularly played in Ireland. A similar version is played in the UK and follows the same format as American Softball.
You'll find similar betting markets for these sports. Gaelic Athletics has pretty much died out since 1922.
