Hurling (in Irish, iománaíocht
or iomáint) is an outdoor team sport of ancient Gaelic origin, administered
by the Gaelic Athletic Association, and played with hurleys and a ball. The
earliest known recorded game of hurling is from times before the Common Era.
The game, played primarily in Ireland, is arguably the world's fastest field
team sport in terms of game play. One of Ireland's native Gaelic Games.
