Ladies' Gaelic football ({{lang-ga|Peil Ghaelach na mBan}}) is a team sport for women, very similar to Gaelic football, and co-ordinated by the Ladies' Gaelic Football Association. The sport originated in Ireland and is most popular there, although it is played in other countries, often by members of the Irish diaspora.

Play

There are two teams of 15 players kick or hand-pass a round ball towards goals at either end of a grass pitch. There are two main competitions in this sport; the National League which is staged during the winter-spring months and is used as a warm-up to the All-Ireland Championship which is played during the summer. The All-Ireland Final is played on the last Sunday in September or the first Sunday in October in Croke Park, Dublin, where the winners receive the Brendan Martin Cup. The National League and Championship are organised by the Ladies' Gaelic Football Association.

Differences from men's football

Most of the rules of ladies' Gaelic football are the same as those for men's game. The main differences are -

  • A player may pick the ball up directly from the ground, so long as she is standing
  • Most matches last 60 minutes; in men's senior inter-county football, games last 70 minutes
  • Kickouts may be taken from the hand
  • Changing hands: Throwing the ball from your right hand to left or vice versa.
  • A countdown clock with siren is used if available; in the men's game, the referee decides the end of the game
  • All deliberate bodily contact is forbidden except when "shadowing" an opponent, competing to catch the ball, or blocking the delivery of the ball
  • A smaller size 4 Gaelic ball is used compared to the size 5 ball used in the men's game.
