The second and fourth Sundays in September play host to Ireland's two most important sporting events. Croke Park, close to the city center, is the venue for the All-Ireland Gaelic football and hurling finals. Gaelic football and hurling are played across all 32 counties of Ireland. Croke Park is in the midst of a major redevelopment plan and is becoming a fit stage for these exciting national events. If you're lucky enough to get tickets, these events are quite a spectacle.
