This book brings together the work of a numbers of scholars who
have an interest in the historical, social and political
significance of sport in Ireland. It contributes not only to wider
debates about Irish history, society and politics and but also to
the steadily growing body of work devoted to understanding the role
of sport in the shaping of modern societies. In terms of history,
the book takes the reader from the late nineteenth century and the
origins of modern sport, through the formation of the Irish Free
State to the divisions that have so adversely affected Northern
Ireland since the late 1960s. The book also allows readers to
consider the relationship between sport, national identities and
gender in a contemporary Irish context together with the role that
sport can play in terms of conflict and conflict resolution.
