Hurling and Camogie will be showcased in Paris during the 2024 Olympics. The Paris Gaels will host hurling and camogie matches at the European Sports Festival on August 1st and 2nd to demonstrate Ireland’s National Sports to the world.

These demonstration matches are a part of “A European Journey through Sport”, an educational exhibition of European cultural sports. Ireland is one of 10 European countries who have joined forces to showcase a range of traditional and cultural sports over the course of 10 days.

The last time hurling was exhibited during the Summer Olympic Games was at the 1904 St. Louis Olympics when an exhibition match was held between Chicago’s Fenian Football Club and St. Louis Innisfails.

Currently, there are 2,200 GAA clubs on the island of Ireland, and 400+ hurling clubs outside of Ireland. North America represents almost half of the hurling clubs worldwide with 200+ hurling clubs.
