Bookmakers, betting offices and the business of gambling in independent Ireland, 1926–31
The Betting Act 1926 legalised cash betting in Ireland and led to the appearance, for the first time, of the legally regulated and licensed betting office. The introduction of this legislation was a pragmatic step, designed to eradicate the undesirable practice of street bookmaking. This article seeks to examine the operation of the legislation over the entire period of its enactment before it was superseded by the Betting Act 1931. What follows …

For those accustomed to the prevailing culture and structure of sport in Europe, and more generally the British Isles, the American sporting system is something of an enigma. Nowhere is this more e
The Pacific Islander in Irish Rugby
This paper explores historical and contemporary connections between Irish rugby and the Pacific Islands. Tracing these connections from the first tours to the British Isles by Fijian rugby teams in the 1960s through to the contemporary professional era, this paper seeks to elucidate the evolving perception of the Pasifika within Irish rugby. Ultimately, it is argued that key contextual shifts in global rugby and Irish society from the mid-1990s g…
Rugby in Munster
This study is the first book-length academic treatment of rugby football in Ireland. Covering the period from the game's origins in Ireland in the 1870s through to the onset of professional rugby in the twenty-first century, this book seeks to examine Munster rugby within the context of broader social, cultural and political trends in Irish society. As well as providing a thorough chronological survey of the game's development, key themes such as…

Foreign Fields and Foreigners on the Field
This article explores how Ireland, a country whose history was dominated by emigration, found a place on the global sporting map. The article traces the spread of the global Irish and argues that the tradition of the Irish abroad was to assimilate through sport rather than seek sporting exclusivity. The complexity surrounding Irish and diaspora identities is illustrated through an examination of Irish sporting involvement in international events.…
