What is "Gaelic football"?

Gaelic football is a team sport played on a rectangular field with two teams of 15 players each. The objective is to score points by either kicking or punching a round ball into the opponent's net or over the crossbar. A goal is worth three points, while a point scored over the bar is worth one point. Players can run with the ball, pass it using their feet or hands, and kick it in different ways. The game is fast-paced and combines elements of soccer, rugby, and basketball. The team with the most points at the end of the game wins.
