Tailteann Games

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Tailteann Games were an ancient sporting event held in Ireland in honor of Queen Tailte. They ran from 1829BC to 1180AD when they died out after the Norman invasion. [1]

A sporting festival bearing the same name was held by the Gaelic Athletic Association in Croke Park in 1924, 1928, and 1932 and was open to all people of Irish birth or ancestry. [2]

A modern athletics meet of the same name is held every year under the auspices of the Athletics Association of Ireland, and is organised as an inter-provincial competition. [3]
