International rules football (sometimes known as "Inter Rules" or, particularly in Ireland, "Compromise rules") is a hybrid code of football which was developed to facilitate international representative matches between Australian rules footballers and Gaelic footballers. The first games took place 1967, and they have been played annually since 1998. The Irish team is selected by the Gaelic Athletic Association and the Australian team is selected by the Australian Football League.

Compromise Rules

---

The rules are designed to provide a compromise between those of the two codes, with the Irish being advantaged by the use of a round ball and a rectangular field (Australian rules uses an oval ball and field), while the Australians benefit from the opportunity to tackle between the shoulders and thighs, something banned in Gaelic football. The game uses two large posts and two small posts, as in Australian rules, and a crossbar and goal net as in Gaelic football. This is similar to the format used for both Gaelic football and Hurling until about 100 years ago. Points are scored as follows:

• in the goal net (a goal): 6 points,
• over the crossbar and between the two large posts (an over): 3 points,
• between a large post and a small post (a behind):1 point.

Scores are written so as to clarify how many of each type of score were made as well as, like Australian football, giving the total points score for each team ; for example, if a team scores one goal, four overs and 10 points, the score is written as 1-4-10 (28) - meaning one goal (six points) plus 4 overs (4 * 3 = 12 points) plus 10 points, for a total score of 28 points.
