Today, the term Celtic generally refers to the languages and respective cultures of Ireland, Scotland, Wales, Cornwall, the Isle of Man, and Brittany, also known as the Celtic nations. These are the regions where four Celtic languages are still spoken to some extent as mother tongues. Gaelic football, Ireland's most popular sport, is a highly competitive game played by sportsmen at a professional level, yet the Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA) prohibits players from accepting money to play.
In Gaelic football, players are allowed to carry the ball in their hands and it can be kicked or hand-passed. Shoulder-to-shoulder contact is permitted, while a player can slap the ball out of an opponent's hand. More than one player can tackle the player in possession but their tackle must be aimed at the ball.
Association football (soccer) is the most played team sport in Ireland. Gaelic football, hurling, golf, aerobics, cycling, swimming and billiards/snooker are the other sporting activities with the highest levels of playing participation in the Republic of Ireland.
