Yes. Rugby, football and field hockey are probably the 3 main international team sports. Football is the only one with separate national teams.

Gaelic sports, which are as big in Ireland, are, of course, ultimately competed on an All-Ireland basis.

It is only football which has this weird political issue over having one team. It's the way forward for our football teams. We're a small island with several popular sports competing for a small pool of talent. It makes sense for the football team to come from the whole island and pool the talent together. An Irish united football team would be quite a handy little side at the moment.
