About 100 teams from 10 regions around the world are taking part in this year’s GAA World Games in Waterford and Dublin this week.

We have photographs of the action from the first days of action at Waterford Institute of Technology in Carriganore.

The finals in hurling, camogie and football between eight teams will take place at Croke Park in Dublin on Friday.
