The Ultimate Encyclopedia of Gaelic Football & Hurling is a comprehensive, single-volume work on two of Ireland's most popular sports.

This book gives one of the best overviews of the two sports, explaining the rules, the development of each and looking at the players and managers who have made the sports the successes they are today. With thrilling descriptions of the great matches and accounts of all the key moments, The Ultimate Encyclopedia of Gaelic Football & Hurling contains everything of importance on Ireland's two greatest national sports.
