The Tailteann Games: Ireland’s Ancient Olympics

Just as the Olympics are based on a Greek sporting contest that took place in the 8th century BC, so did Ireland revive an ancient tradition upon becoming a free state in the 1920s. The Tailteann Games, held in 1924, 1928 and 1932, helped establish Ireland on the international stage after coming out of The War for Independence and The Irish Civil War. Although short-lived, the revival of the Tailteann Games promoted Irish culture and art, while encouraging much needed tourism into the country.
