What are the rules in GAA Hurling and how does the scoring work?
IT'S no secret that the audience for GAA Hurling is growing everyday - and new fans will want to know exactly how the rules work. SunSport can provide viewers with all the rules and regulations of GAA Hurling which will be professionally demonstrated in the 2025 All-Ireland final between Cork and Tipperary. 1 What are the rules in GAA Hurling and how does the scoring work? GAA Hurling is a fast-paced Irish sport where two teams of 15 players compete to score by hitting a sliotar (ball) with a hurley (stick) into the goal. Goals are worth three points, and points are awarded for sending the sliotar over the crossbar. Matches are played over 70 minutes, divided into two 35-minute halves. Players can carry the ball for four steps, bounce it, or solo it (kick it back into their hand), and can also hand-pass or kick the ball. Fouls include striking, tripping, or holding an opponent. Fouls: Players can be tackled, but not struck by a one-handed slash of the stick. Jersey-pulling, wrestling, pushing, and tripping are not allowed. Tackling: Players can be tackled, but not struck by a one-handed slash of the stick. Helmet Removal: A player who removes their helmet must leave the field and can only return at a break in play, with the referee's permission, at the halfway line. What are the rules for the GAA All-Ireland Hurling final? The GAA Hurling final follows standard hurling rules, with a few specific rules for the final match. If the game ends in a draw after 70 minutes, extra time is played, and if still tied, a replay will be held, with no extra time in the replay according to GAA official rules. If the replay is also a draw, then extra time will be played, followed by a penalty shootout if necessary. When is the GAA All-Ireland Hurling final? The throw-in time is scheduled for 3:30pm BST / 10:30am ET Croke Park in Dublin, Ireland is the chosen venue for this iconic match and it can host a whopping 82,300 fans. Pat Ryan's Cork side claimed the Munster round robin 4-27 to 0-24 when the teams last met.

Scoring twice in a semi-final, on your first start, to put your club within touching distance of a £100million-plus jackpot, is usually cause for celebration.
