Itinerary
Experience a Gaelic Games session at a local Gaelic club called "Na Fianna", just 10 minutes bus journey from city centre. Our modern facility includes a dedicated visitor centre. Three public bus routes (number 4, 9 and 155) stop directly across the road. Sessions start with an introduction which includes history of the games, their revered place in Irish life. Following the engaging introduction, it's outside where you'll partake in gentle team building activities of Gaelic Football, Hurling and Handball. You’ll need flat footwear and a willingness to have fun. Casual clothing is preferable. Bring sporting attire if you'll get competitive. There is water, tea/coffee available. If you wish to use our on-site dressing rooms/showers, please bring your own towels/toiletries. Interaction makes the event: our trainers are great; they are passionate about their beloved games and really interact with visitors. Depending on the group you most likely play mini-matches - all in good fun!

Traveler reviews
Fantastic stag activity
Well worth it. Went on a stag, 15 of us. Recommend it as 10/10. Everybody enjoyed it.
Gaelic games experience
I can’t even begin to describe how much fun we had experiencing the Gaelic games. Our trainer was super friendly and knowledgeable and we left there eager to learn and play more. If you are looking for something fun and interesting to experience in Dublin I highly recommend this.
A must try!
12 Men for a Bachelor Trip to Ireland and looking back it would not have been complete without Gaelic Games. Learning about the history, the sports, and playing (or trying to) added a whole new appreciation for the Irish, the community, and sport. On top of all of it, we even were notified about a local hurling match that we were able to get tickets for! Thank you to the whole Experience Gaelic Games staff! Thanks a million for your patience, sharing your knowledge, and adding to a memorable trip!
Great stag activity
We had a great time learning to play Gaelic sports as part of a 14-man stag party. This was the perfect activity and, even in the rain, we had unbelievable craic. The coaches were very patient but facilitated really fun games that suited our ability. We got a great feel for what these sports represent in the Irish culture and we enjoyed the Guinness in the bar afterwards. Thank you so much!
A meaningful, active, and unforgettable Irish experience
Our family had an incredible experience with the Gaelic Games Experience in Dublin. It was a unique opportunity to actively engage with Irish history, culture, and tradition in a way that was both fun and genuinely meaningful. The session struck a perfect balance between energetic participation and more contemplative moments that helped us better understand the deeper cultural importance of the games. Joe was an exceptional instructor: patient, knowledgeable, and highly skilled at meeting everyone where they were, regardless of age or athletic background. He created an environment that was welcoming, encouraging, and engaging from start to finish. This is far more than a typical tourist activity. It is hands-on, authentic, and memorable. I would strongly recommend this experience to active families, teams, or any group looking for a thoughtful and immersive way to connect with Irish culture.
