France and Italy will take part this November in what is the first official international match in the history of the GAA. The Corbarieu Stadium in Toulouse will play host to a football game like no other when the best players from both countries do battle.
The nations of Galicia in Spain and Brittany in France have already broken ground with their annual international match but France v Italy will be the first time two countries play each other in Gaelic football.
The GAA hope that this will be the start of a development that would expand into international competitions in the future. The event will be part of the French Federation's (FFG) 10th anniversary celebrations; an organisation which now boasts 20 clubs.
They also hope that the event will help promote hurling, handball and ladies football.
