The GAA has confirmed it will not resume playing under international rules unless the AFL addresses concerns related to player recruitment. Discussions between the GAA and the AFL have resumed regarding the potential revival of the international rules series. The GAA has made it clear that the return of the series is conditional on the AFL taking action to resolve recruitment issues. The talks are part of ongoing efforts to find a solution that satisfies both organizations. The AFL has not yet responded to the GAA’s conditions. The international rules series, which saw a brief revival in 2023, was suspended due to logistical and administrative challenges. The GAA remains committed to maintaining the integrity of its own rules while seeking a viable alternative. The outcome of these discussions will determine whether the series can be revived in the future. (independent.ie)
