Gaelic football betting odds - GAA Betting with VivatBet
It all started nearly 140 years ago in a billiards room in Tipperary, and just look at our GAA now - it's grown into one of the most passionate sports on earth. There's something special about that combination of pure grit, incredible skill and fierce local rivalry that gets right under your skin. Whether you follow the thunder of hurling or the grace of Gaelic football, VivatBet is your home for GAA betting. From the All-Ireland Football championship to the Munster Championship and everything in between, we've got every angle covered. And with our welcome offer for new customers, you're starting on the right foot.
What is GAA Betting?
When we talk about GAA betting, we're talking about putting your knowledge of Ireland's favourite sports to the test. Both hurling and Gaelic football have been in our blood for generations, and that fast, unpredictable action makes for brilliant betting. You can keep it simple with an outright bet on who'll lift the Sam Maguire, or get right into the detail with correct score markets and first goal scorer bets. Whatever match you're following - be it All-Ireland hurling or the National Football League - you'll find competitive GAA odds and comprehensive markets waiting for you at VivatBet.
GAA betting odds online
Here's how it works at VivatBet - all our GAA betting odds come in those familiar fractional numbers. For any given match, you'll see the odds for home win, away win or draw laid out clear as day. Take Dublin versus Kerry - you might see Dublin at 4/6, Kerry at 6/4 and the draw at 11/2. Stick a tenner on Dublin and you're looking at €16.67 back, while the same on Kerry returns €25. The interesting thing is how these odds dance around right up to throw-in - a key player pulling up in warm-up, a team's recent form, even how they've historically matched up against each other. We're constantly adjusting our GAA odds to make sure they're sharp and competitive.
How do bet on GAA?
Placing your GAA bet with us couldn't be simpler. Just follow these steps:
Head straight to our Gaelic Games section
Pick your competition - maybe the All-Ireland Hurling championship
Choose your match and market - from straightforward match winner to first goalscorer
Click those odds to pop your selection into the bet slip
Enter your stake and confirm your bet
After that, all that's left is to settle in and watch the action unfold - hopefully with a winning bet in your pocket.
Types of GAA Betting markets
We've got every type of GAA betting market you could want here at VivatBet. Some of the most popular include:
Outright winner
This is the big one - picking who you think will go all the way in a competition. Our GAA odds cover everything from All-Ireland Football to the Ladies football championships and all the provincial competitions in between.
Handicap betting
This is where things get really interesting, especially when there's a clear favourite facing an underdog. Say Kerry are playing Mayo - Kerry might start at -2.5 while Mayo get +2.5. Back Kerry and they need to win by three clear goals for your bet to land. It's a great way to find value in what might otherwise be a straightforward contest.
In-Play Betting
There's nothing quite like In-Play GAA betting to get the heart racing. As the match ebbs and flows, so do the odds - meaning you can react to what's actually happening on the pitch. Popular live markets include next goal scorer, total goals and winning margin.
Player markets
Fancy yourself as a good judge of individual talent? Our player markets let you focus on the stars - from first goal scorer bets to predicting how many points a particular free-taker will rack up.
A Closer Look at Major GAA Competitions
All-Ireland Senior Football Championship
This is the one that stops the nation. From April right through to that electric final Sunday in July, 34 counties battle it out for the Sam Maguire. When Croke Park fills with 80,000 fans for the decider, there's no sporting occasion quite like it. We've got All-Ireland football markets for every step of the journey.
The All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship
The sheer speed and skill of hurling makes for incredible viewing - and incredible betting. With 36 teams chasing the Liam MacCarthy Cup, every match matters. Whether you're following the round robin games or the final itself, you'll find the markets you want at VivatBet.
The National Football League
Don't sleep on the NFL - Ireland's top football league serves up cracking action throughout the season. With 32 teams across four divisions, there's always value to be found if you know where to look.

We love the GAA as much as you do, and we show it with promotions like:
Price Boosts that give you extra value on selected bets
Acca Insurance to soften the blow if one leg lets you down
Acca Boost where the more selections you add, the bigger your potential bonus
Gaelic Football betting tips:
Right, so you’re having a flutter on the Gaelic Football, a sport that, let’s be honest, is all about county pride and raw passion. For the discerning punter, the first rule, the absolute bedrock of any sensible strategy, is to shop around for the best odds. You might think all the major bookmakers are offering the same price, but in truth, those fractional differences—that tiny bit of extra value on the match winner or, crucially, the handicap market—can make or break your bankroll over the course of the All-Ireland Championship. VivatBet, for instance, often provides highly competitive prices. It’s a simple step, yet one so many overlook.
Still, the real edge, as seasoned punters know, comes from the deep dive into team news and county form. This isn't the Premier League; you won't find endless, perfectly curated statistical models. No. Gaelic Football demands a more journalistic, almost nosey, approach. You need to know about those late injuries, especially to the key playmakers in the middle of the park or the main goal-threat up front. A single withdrawal can completely change the story of the match before it even begins. Furthermore, and this is worth keeping in mind, the emotional intensity of a local derby, that fierce county rivalry, often throws form right out the window, leading to those glorious, unexpected upsets. Always, always check for late withdrawals and the general mood of the squad. Finally, you’ll notice that the handicap market often provides the most attractive value proposition. When a powerhouse county faces a weaker side, the straight win price is usually rubbish, let’s face it. The handicap, however, gives you a chance to back the favourite to cover the spread at a far better price, or, conversely, to back the underdog to keep the margin respectable. That’s where the smart money usually goes with VivatBet.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which are the most popular Gaelic Games betting options?
The All-Ireland Football and Hurling championships always draw huge interest, while match markets like handicap betting and correct score are perennially popular. Our In-Play GAA betting markets have really taken off in recent years too.
What are some upcoming fixtures for Gaelic Games betting?
You'll find the full list of upcoming fixtures right here on our site, complete with all the markets and odds you need to place your bets.
How does handicap betting work?
It’s a points spread. If Dublin are -4.5 favourites, they must win by 5+. Backing Kerry at +4.5 wins if they lose by 4 or less—or win outright. Great for uneven matchups
What are the main bet types in Gaelic Football?
The basics are match result, handicap and total points (over/under). Other options include First/Anytime Goalscorer, Half-Time/Full-Time, Winning Margin and Outright Championship Winner. Bets on players, such as a forward scoring over 2.5 points, are popular too
What’s the difference between a goal and a point in betting?
A goal counts as 3 points. Total Points and Handicaps use the full score (goals x3 + points), while Goalscorer bets are for goals only
