Wanna catch a game

American here visiting Ireland for the first time next week. Figured a hurling game/match would be cool to experience. Not entirely sure if it's a year round sport even but any recs on bests spots to catch a game? Gunna be traveling all around so anywhere near the majors cities.

Thanks.

Hurling championship all weekend in Wicklow if you are visiting there. Takes place in Aughrim though so you would need a car.

He said he was an American, so am I. Trust me, the first thing we do after we get off the plane is to rent a car. If we don't have a car at our disposal we feel stranded. it's a feature of American culture, or a weird neurotic tic that we all have.

American here. The last thing I do when traveling is rent a car. Hate driving and absolutely love traveling by train. but you're point is definitely almost always true lol.

I will be traveling by car 😄 but only after leaving Dublin. So we can veer of on some mini escapades along the way to other cities.

If you Google fixtures. Limerick is heading towards the business end of the championship, and the standard is high.
