No International Rules this year as series looks to America

The International Rules series will not take place this year as the GAA and AFL move to secure a long-term agreement for the hybrid game, writes John Fogarty.

Speaking at the end of last year, former director general Páraic Duffy said he was enthused about the Australians’ support for the series, which returned to a two-test format last year. He also spoke about securing 2018 venues for the competition by February of this year.
