O'Neills: common questions

What size Gaelic football does each age group use? Size 4 is the standard ball for underage grades up to under-14 and for ladies football at all levels. Size 5 is the full senior men's match ball from minor grade upward. Size 3 and mini balls are used for introductory and go-games at primary level.

What is the difference between a match and a training sliotar? A match sliotar is made to the GAA's specification for weight, circumference and rebound, with a stitched leather cover. Training sliotars use harder-wearing covers and cores that survive high-volume wall and drill work at lower cost.

Are O'Neills balls the official GAA ball? O'Neills is the long-standing official ball supplier to the GAA, and its footballs and sliotars are used in championship competition. See Karakal for graded underage sliotars and Uwin for ash hurleys.
