Tailteann Games
The Tailteann Games were an ancient sporting event held in Ireland in honour of Queen Tailtiu.
They ran from 1829BC to 1169-1171AD when they died out after the Norman invasion.
This revival meeting of the Irish race was announced by Eamon de Valera in Dáil Éireann in 1921,
however due to the Anglo-Irish War and Civil War it was not held until 1924.
The meeting was launched to celebrate the independence of Ireland.
The Hogan Stand was built and opened for the 1924 games.
A sporting festival bearing the same name was held by the Gaelic Athletic Association in Croke Park in 1924,
1928, and 1932 and was open to all people of Irish birth or ancestry,
with participants coming England, Scotland, Wales, Canada, the USA, South Africa and Australia as well as Ireland.
