Gaelic football is the most widely followed GAA code in Ireland, and betting interest peaks around the All-Ireland Senior Football Championship — the competition whose winners lift the Sam Maguire Cup. The road to Croke Park runs through the four provincial championships (Leinster, Munster, Connacht and Ulster), followed by the All-Ireland series group stage and knockout rounds, with the final traditionally staged in late July under the split-season calendar.
Earlier in the year the Allianz Football League (run across four divisions from late January to spring) offers plenty of betting markets and is a useful form guide before the championship begins.
Hurling betting centres on the All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship, where the champions are presented with the Liam MacCarthy Cup. The Munster and Leinster round-robin provincial championships are the main routes into the All-Ireland series, and traditional powers such as Limerick, Kilkenny, Cork, Tipperary, Galway, Clare and Waterford dominate the outright markets.
Because hurling is a high-scoring game, handicap and total-points marketsare especially popular, and the round-robin format guarantees a run of competitive fixtures each summer to bet on before the knockout stages.
For both codes we recommend licensed operators with strong Irish GAA coverage. Compare our bookmaker reviews, check the latest welcome bonuses, and explore other markets on our football betting and sports betting hubs.
