It is a form of football derived from traditional Irish ball games. It is played between two teams of 15 players on a rectangular grass pitch.The objective of the sport is to score by passing the ball through the other team's goals (3 points) or a set of two upright posts separated by a crossbar 2.5 metres (8.2 ft) above the ground (1 point). Gaelic pitch is similar in some respects to a rugby pitch but larger. The grass pitch is rectangular, stretching 130â145 metres (142â159 yards) long and 80â90 m (87â98 yd) wide.
