Hurling is a fast-paced traditional Irish field sport that combines speed, coordination and physical contact. Players use a wooden stick known as a hurley to strike a small ball while moving at pace across a grass pitch. When taking part abroad, hurling is usually played on an amateur basis, whether during organised training sessions or structured non-professional matches.
ActivitySure travel insurance can cover amateur hurling overseas, provided participation meets the policy conditions. As the sport involves quick play, close contact and hard equipment, injuries can occur even during friendly games, making appropriate travel insurance an important part of your travel plans.

Destination Insight
Where is popular to travel for hurling?
Hurling is deeply rooted in Ireland, with clubs based throughout the country and strong local rivalries forming the backbone of the sport. Counties such as Kilkenny and Cork are particularly well known for their hurling traditions and vibrant match days.
Travellers may take part through community clubs, organised training sessions or cultural sporting events while visiting Ireland, often alongside watching local championship matches.
Here's why hurling travel insurance matters:
Hurling involves high-speed movement, swinging sticks and close physical contact, which increases the risk of impact injuries, bruising or fractures. Medical treatment abroad can be costly, and an injury may disrupt the rest of your trip. Travel insurance helps provide financial protection if you need medical care or assistance.
Helpful travel tips
- Wear appropriate safety equipment, including a helmet and protective gloves, as recommended.
- Always follow organiser instructions, match rules and referee guidance.
- Warm up thoroughly before play to reduce the risk of muscle strain.
- Stay alert to other players and the movement of the ball at all times.
- Avoid playing on overly wet or slippery surfaces where footing may be unstable.
