This is the first history of sport in Ireland, locating the history of sport within Irish political, social, and cultural history, and within the global history of sport. What is equally apparent, though, is that the Irish sporting world is unique only in part; much of the history of Irish sport is a shared history with that of other societies.Drawing on an unparalleled range of sources--government archives, sporting institutions, private collections, and more than sixty local, national, and international newspapers--this volume offers a unique insight into the history of the British Empire in Ireland and examines the impact that political partition has had on the organization of Sport and Ireland demonstrates that there are aspects of Ireland's sporting history that are uniquely Irish and are defined by the peculiarities of life on a small island on the edge of Europe.
