What is hurling?
Hurling is an outdoor team sport of Irish origin dating back over 3000 years. It is the fastest field game in the world. Teams consist of 15 players and the objective is to use a wooden stick (called a hurl or hurley) to hit a small leather ball (called a sliotar) between the opponents goalposts, either over the crossbar for one point, or under for three points

What is Camogie?
The Camogie Association was founded in 1904 with the the first All-Ireland championship played some 28 years later in 1932. Ten counties entered for the inaugural All-Ireland championship which was organised on an open draw basis. Dublin were the first ever winners, winning the O'Duffy Cup. The game has developed massively over the years since with progression to 15-a-side and increasing standards of skill and athleticism
Differences between hurling and camogie
Some of the primary differences in Hurling and Camogie (aside from the obvious male/female) are:
- In camogie a player can handpass a score
- In hurling a player is not allowed drop their hurl to score
- The sliotar used in camogie is a size 4 which is slightly smaller in size and weight to the hurling size 5
- Intercounty hurling games are 70 minutes in duration; camogie games are 60 minutes
- When a defender last touches a ball going over the end line the resulting free is awarded from the '65' in hurling and the '45' in camogie
- Shouldering is not permitted in camogie
- There are no rules differentiating camogie goalkeepers from outfield players; this is why they wear the same jersey as their outfield teammates
