GAA and RTE launch streaming service for live games
A new live and on-demand streaming service for ex-pat GAA fans has been launched.
The GAA and RTÉ have got together to bring 45 televised games from this season's football and hurling championships on their new GAAGO service.
They will be the same games as broadcast by RTÉ and Sky.
The games will be available on any internet-enabled device such as mobile phones, tablets and laptops.
In England, Scotland and Wales only the 25 games broadcast by RTÉ will be available which means that GAA fans there must have Sky to see the games shown by them.
The service will cost €110 (€60 in UK) for a Season Pass and €10 for a single game with that price rising to €14 per game from the quarter-finals on.
The service starts on Saturday June 14, meaning the RTÉ Player will provide free worldwide streaming of all GAA Championship games until then.
The Sunday Game highlights programme will continue to be available to view for free on the RTÉ Player around the world.
GAA Director General Páraic Duffy said: "For the first time our games will be available to followers around the globe through the same service and we are enthused at the prospect of making it easier for people - both GAA members and new audiences alike - to make a connection with top level football and hurling regardless of where they might be."
