Play Hurling exists to spread the sport of hurling in North America, specifically in the USA. Hurling is a 3000-year-old Irish stick sport and is the world’s fastest field sport. Hurling is played using a wooden or synthetic stick, called a hurl or a hurley, and a leather ball that is similar to a baseball, called a sliotar, in an exciting and fast-paced field game. It is Ireland's national sport and considered to be the world’s oldest and fastest field sport with the ball being hit at speeds up to 110+ mph. There are teams all over the world, and more than 120 of those clubs are in the US & Canada, with new clubs popping up all over North America. Our mission is to highlight the thriving hurling and camogie community in North America and get more people out playing hurling.
