The 2020 International Rules Series will be the 21st International Rules Series contested by Gaelic footballers from Ireland and Australian footballers from Australia. The series will be held in Ireland and is the first series to be arranged by the Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA) and Australian Football League (AFL) since November 2017.[1]
Background[edit]
The previous series between the countries had been held in and won by Australia in November 2017.[2] As the GAA had scheduled an exhibition hurling match between Galway and Kilkenny at the Sydney Showground Stadium in November 2018, the two associations met to discuss the prospect of holding a series the following year.[3] As time passed the prospect of a series in 2019 failed to materialise and the GAA eventually confirmed that insufficient time remained to stage the event.[4] In November 2019 the AFL and GAA announced dates for a two-test series in 2020 to be held in Ireland, and also confirmed a return series in Australia in 2022.[1][5] The GAA also revealed that a memorial will be staged ahead of the second test in commemoration of the 100th anniversary of the Bloody Sunday massacre, which saw fourteen civilians killed at a Gaelic football match at Croke Park during the Irish War of Independence.[6]
