Gaelic Games
The main sport on a national level in Ireland is the national indigenous GAA games of hurling and Gaelic football which enjoy nationwide popularity ahead of rugby and soccer. Croke Park in Dublin is the historic home of Gaelic games in Ireland and hosts all major national competition finals. The stadium has undergone extension regeneration over the past ten years and can hold up to 82,300 spectators. All-Ireland competitions in both Gaelic Football and Hurling take place each year in which all of the island's 32 counties compete to be crowned All-Ireland champions with the finals usually taking place in the month of September.
