How widespread is this GAA sport known and appreciated?
It's a mix between golf and rugby (maybe a bit like lacrosse, but not as much as you'd imagine not having seen it), fastest team ball sport in the world (AFAIR), and it's absolutely brilliant.
There's no great youtube clips out there as yet (from a very lazy search at work, mind), but if you get the chance to see the current Kilkenny side at work you will witness one of the great collective talents in any sport.

Shinty is insane, but I've never really watched enough hurling to tell the difference. I have occasionally been to see the international shinty-hurling matches where I think Scotland play to their rules and Ireland play to their rules and basically it's very fast and insane and people get their teeth knocked out a lot and no-one except dedicated experts (we used to get to go because my mum's boss sponsored the beer tent when it was held in Inverness) has the faintest idea what's going on.
Classic, obviously.

I dreamt about hurling last night! I dreamt I was on holiday in Dorset and I ended up in an indoor hall where hurling was to be played. It was basically indoor hockey with two sticks, one of which was bendy. I know this isn't what hurling is. I also dreamt I was leading my classmates down the London Underground on a mission against the Russians, and that Muse's album 'Absolution' was actually called 'Amnesty' and was a post-modern prog masterpiece where every song contained the line "New York I love you but you're bringing me down" in the chorus and that this was so very witty

Just watched all of the hurling final and yeah it's pretty rad but I have a question:
Why do the goalkeepers not wear facemasks?
― visit europe more (acoleuthic), Monday, 9 August 2010 13:23 (thirteen years ago) link
Is it a macho thing or part of the rules to make goalkeeping less palatable?
A plastic protective helmet with faceguard is mandatory for all age groups including senior level as of 2010.

None of them would be wearing the helmets were it not mandatory, it's a fairly new development.
but why are the goalkeepers the only ones NOT wearing helmets

Hurling is older than the recorded history of Ireland. It is thought to predate Christianity, having come to Ireland with the Celts.[5] It has been a distinct Irish pastime for at least 2000 years.[6] The earliest written references to the sport in Brehon law date from the fifth century.[5] In the book by Seamus King "A History of Hurling" there is a reference from Irish verbal history of hurling as far back as the 1200 B.C.

I really enjoy hurling. I think the skill level is phenomenal. I love Kilkenny for the fact that they are leagues ahead of everyone else but I couldnt watch more than 25 mins of the match yesterday, they just destroyed Cork. Having grown up on the limerick side of the tipp-limerick border, I automatically have to hate Tipp but I usually cheer them on (Nicky English is a cousin!). Although in the semi, I cant help but shout for Waterford's gnarled, grizzled old vets.

Just watched both halves of that 2009 final - Tipperary seemed so unlucky! Maybe that was the editing though?
Is there passing in this sport?
― Gravel Puzzleworth, Monday, 9 August 2010 14:34 (thirteen years ago) link
yeah, short hand passes (slap the ball to someone, basically) then medium/long range pucks with the hurl.
i kinda wish there was a better/clearer clip- yesterday's performances on both sides were basically impromptu group poetry through the media of ball and physical abuse.
