Hurling combines the skill, speed, and athleticism of the world's greatest sports. The game is played mostly at head height within a combination of rules that make it challenging to carry the ball, which can be hit with the axe-shaped stick at speeds of up to 112 mph.
The ancient game is thought to be the oldest continuously-played sport in the world. Thought to have originated as a way of preparing Irish warriors for battle, it has evolved throughout the ages.
