High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Although many hurling clubs exist worldwide, only Ireland has a national team (although it includes only players from weaker counties in order to ensure matches are competitive). It and the Scotland shinty team have played for many years with modified match rules in the Composite Rules International (as with International Rules Football). The match is the only such international competition. Competition at club level is growing around the world, with clubs emerging even outside of the traditional destinations of Irish emigrants such as London (London GAA), New York (New York GAA), Boston (Boston GAA), Chicago (Chicago GAA) and San Francisco (San Francisco GAA).
