The All-Ireland Kick Fada Championship is an annual tournament testing the skills of Ireland's best Gaelic footballers. Fada is Irish for "long". The Kick Fada is sponsored by MBNA.
The tournament (first played in 2000) is held annually at Bray Emmets GAA club, County Wicklow. About 21 men and 7 women compete. Each take shots (kicking from hands, off the ground or a drop-kick) from a variety of distances. Whoever can score a point from the furthest distance is the winner, with separate sections for men, women and "masters" (men aged 40+).
