Report

In 2017 the Darmstadt GAA and Lacrosse Clubs in Germany started a biannual series with the first set of rules drawn up. The first match finished with a Darmstadt Demons Lacrosse team win of 33 points to 31 (3pts for a goal; 1 for a point).

In 2018 the first Hurlacrosse match was organised in North America, between the GAA Club based in Orange County, California and a Team Eire (Irish-American Lacrosse players).
