The team dates from 1924 when Ireland competed at the Aonach Tailteann against national hurling teams from several countries. However, at present the only team it plays is the Scotland national shinty team, on an annual basis in the Shinty–Hurling International Series.

The team comprises a mixture of hurlers who compete in the All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship, as well as players of county teams competing in the Christy Ring and Nicky Rackard Cups. The managers of the senior men's team during the most recent series in 2024 were Michael Kavanagh and Terence McNaughton, with Enda Rowland of Laois as captain.

History

Aonach Tailteann

The first international hurling competition to be held was at the Aonach Tailteann in 1924. Teams from Ireland, the United States, England, Scotland, and Wales participated in the hurling tournament. The Scotland national shinty team also participated in the games, inflicting a surprise 2–1 defeat of Ireland on the opening day of the games. However, Ireland won all of its matches in the hurling tournament. At the 1928 Aonach Tailteann, Ireland and the United States were the only participants in the hurling tournament, with Ireland securing a 5-9 to 4-3 victory. The final Aonach Tailteann in 1932 saw four teams competing; Ireland, the United States, Great Britain, and South Africa.

International shinty–hurling matches

On 14 October 1933, representatives of the Gaelic Athletic Association and the Camanachd Association agreed to new rules governing international matches. An international compromise rules match was planned for Easter of the following year. However, the Camanachd Association broke off its links with the GAA following pressure from the British government.

As a result of continued Camanachd Association opposition to links with the GAA, the next full international between Ireland and Scotland would not be held until 1972. On 5 August 1972, Ireland defeated Scotland by 6-4 to 4-5 at Bught Park, Inverness. Further internationals were held each year during the 1970s, apart from 1975. No full internationals were played between 1980 and 1987, but in 1988 the series was revived.

Combined Universities v (Rest of) Ireland matches

During the 1950s, a number of exhibition matches were played between an Ireland representative team and Combined Universities, representing third level institutions.
