History:
It is believed that the game comes from the ancient Irish football known as caid which dates back to 1537, although
the current formally organized in the nineteenth century by the rules established by the Gaelic Athletic Association
(GAA Gaelic Athletic Association) in 1887. It is a mix between rugby and football, with various elements of basketball
and volleyball. It is much older than them. There are male and female league.
The first record of a recognized precursor to the modern day game of a match in County Meath, in 1670, in which

and

is
allowed.
In the early 19th century, various football games, referred to collectively as caid, were popular in Kerry, especially
the Dingle Peninsula. Father W. Ferris described two forms of caid: the "field" in which the goal was to put the ball
thanks to goals similar arch, formed from the branches of two trees, and the epic "cross game -Country "which
lasted all Sunday and was won by taking the ball across a parish boundary. "Fight", "businessman" opposing players,
and
carrying
the
ball
all
allowed.
During the 1860s and 1870s, Rugby football started to become popular in Ireland. Trinity College, Dublin was an
early stronghold of Rugby, and the rules of the Football Association were codified in 1863 and widely distributed. At
that time, according to Gaelic football historian Jack Mahon, even in the Irish countryside, caid had begun to give
way to a "rough and tumble game" which even allows disconnection. Football Association began to take hold,
especially
in
Ulster,
in
the
1880s.
Irish forms of football were not formally arranged in a code of game organized by the Gaelic Athletic Association
until 1887 - The GAA sought to promote traditional Irish sports such as hurling and to reject "foreign" imports. The
first rules of Gaelic football, showing the influence of hurling and a desire to differentiate from association football for example, in the absence of a rule of offside - were drawn up by Maurice Davin and published in the journal
United Ireland the February 7, 1887 - The advertising rules above club became the basis of these official rules, as
