Dual County
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Dual county is a term used in Gaelic Games to describe a GAA county that competes at a similar level in both hurling and gaelic football. For example, Galway play in Division 1 in both the NHL and NFL while London play in Division 2.
Generally recognised dual counties include:
Only Tipperary and Cork have won both premier men's competitions, the All-Ireland Senior Hurling and All-Ireland Senior Football championships in the same year. Tipperary won both in 1895 and 1900, while Cork won both in 1890 and 1990. Tipperary would today be regarded as primarily a hurling county having not won a major senior football title since 1935.
Dual player is a similar phrase used to describe players who plays both sports.
