The first games played were Test matches between Australia and a touring Meath Gaelic Football team which took place in late 1967, after Meath had won that year's All-Ireland Senior Football Championship. Following intermittent international tests between Australia and an all-Ireland team, the International Rules Series has been played annually since 1998 and has generally been a closely matched contest with the early series generally going to the visting team, and later titles almost always going to the host team. // History Gaelic football Hurling External links Meath on Hoganstand. ...

Compromise rules

The rules are designed to provide a compromise between those of the two codes, with Gaelic footballers being advantaged by the use of a round ball and a rectangular field (Australian rules uses an oval ball and field), while the Australian rules football players benefit from the opportunity to tackle between the shoulders and thighs, something banned in Gaelic football. The game also introduces the concept of the mark, from Australian rules football, with a free kick paid for any ball caught from a kick of over 15 metres.

A mark is a skill in Australian Rules Football where a player cleanly catches a kicked ball that has travelled more than 15 metres without anyone else touching it. ...
The game uses two large posts and two small posts, as in Australian rules, and a crossbar and goal net as in Gaelic football. This is similar to the format used for both Gaelic football and Hurling until about 100 years ago. Points are scored as follows: A crossbar switch is an electromechanical device for switching telephone calls. ...

- in the goal net (a goal): 6 points,
- over the crossbar and between the two large posts (an over): 3 points,
- between a large post and a small post (a behind):1 point.
Scores are written so as to clarify how many of each type of score were made as well as, like Australian football, giving the total points score for each team; for example, if a team scores one goal, four overs and 10 points, the score is written as 1-4-10 (28) - meaning one goal (six points) plus 4 overs (4 * 3 = 12 points) plus 10 points, for a total score of 28 points.
An international rules match lasts for 72 minutes (divided into four quarters of 18 minutes each). Gaelic football matches also go for 70 minutes, divided into two halves, and Australian rules matches typically goes for 4 quarters of 30 minutes each.
As in Gaelic football, teams consist of fifteen players, including a goalkeeper, whereas eighteen are used in Australian rules (no keeper). A football goalkeeper leaves the ground to parry a shot on goal In many team ever known sports, a goalkeeper (termed goaltender, or goalie in some sports) is a designated player that is charged with directly preventing the opposite team from scoring by defending the goal. ...
Most of the rules are from Gaelic Football, including if the ball goes out of bounds, possession is given to the team opposite to the player who last touched the ball.
Rule changes The following rule changes have being implemented as from the 2006 series: - Each quarter will be reduced from 20 minutes to 18 minutes.
- A player who receives a red card will be sent off and no replacement will be allowed. In addition to this a penalty is awarded regardless of where the incident takes place. Previously a replacement was allowed and a penalty was only awarded if the incident happened in the penalty area.
- A yellow card will now mean a 15 minute sin bin for the offending player who will be sent off if he receives a second card.
- Players can't pick the ball up directly off the ground
- Players must carry the ball as in Gaelic Football (ie. they can opt to first bounce, then solo)

Australia vs Ireland Test senior results Australia is the current holder of the Cormac McAnallen Cup, after winning the 2005 Series in a clean sweep and with an aggregate margin of 57 points. The series took place in Australia, with tests played at Subiaco Oval in Perth (on October 21 2005) and the Telstra Dome in Melbourne (on October 28 2005). Peter MacGrath's Ireland team went into the game as heavy favourites, however Australian coach Kevin Sheedy's policy to handpick fast running players more suited to the hybrid game rather than use the All Australian Team proved a winning move.

Future of the International Rules Series The future of the series was brought into doubt through the onfield actions of Australian co-captain Chris Johnson, with high contact against at least 3 Irish players. Many Australians raised the argument that the actions of Johnson and other players such as Trent Croad was in response to low contact by the Irish players unaccustomed to tackling. As Johnson's penalties only applied to future International tests and not AFL home and away matches, the AFL and GAA were forced to negotiate suitable penalties for similar future indiscretions. The harsh reaction of the Irish media and calls amongst various officials threatened to cancel the series.
