International rules football ((アイルランド語:Peil na rialacha idirnáisiunta); also known as inter rules in Australia and compromise rules in Ireland) is a team sport consisting of a hybrid of football codes, which was developed to facilitate international representative matches between Australian rules football players and Gaelic football players. The first tour, known as the Australian Football World Tour, took place in 1967, with matches played in Ireland, the United Kingdom, and the United States. The following year, games were played between Australia and a touring County Meath Gaelic football team, Meath being the reigning All-Ireland senior football champions.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=History of International Rules Football )〕 Following intermittent international tests between Australia and Ireland, the International Rules Series between the senior Australian international rules football team and Ireland international rules football team has been played annually since 1998 (except for the cancelled 2007 edition), and has generally been a closely matched contest. The sport has raised interest and exposure in developing markets for Gaelic and Australian football and has been considered a development tool by governing bodies of both codes, particularly by the AFL Commission. International rules football does not have any dedicated clubs or leagues. It is currently played by men's, women's, and junior teams only in tournaments or Test matches. ==Rules== The rules are designed to provide a compromise between those of the two codes, with Gaelic football players being advantaged by the use of a round ball and a rectangular field (Australian rules uses an oval ball and field), while the Australian rules football players benefit from the opportunity to tackle between the shoulders and thighs, something banned in Gaelic football. The game also introduces the concept of the mark, from Australian rules football, with a free kick awarded for a ball caught from a kick of over 20 metres, where the kick must be in the forward direction if originating from a teammate. 〔 A player must bounce, solo or touch the ball on the ground once every 10 metres or six steps.〔 A maximum of two bounces per possession are allowed, while players can solo the ball as often as they wish on a possession.〔 Unlike in Gaelic football, the ball may be lifted directly off the ground, without putting a foot underneath it first.〔 Players however cannot scoop the ball off the ground to a team-mate, nor pick up the ball if they are on their knees or on the ground.〔 If a foul is committed, a free kick will be awarded, referees (called umpires in Australian Rules) can give the fouled player advantage to play on at their discretion.〔 The game uses two large posts and two small posts, as in Australian rules, and a crossbar and goal net as in Gaelic football. Points are scored as follows: * In the goal net (a goal): 6 points, umpire waves green flag and raises both index fingers. * Over the crossbar and between the two large posts (an over): 3 points, umpire waves red flag and raises one arm above his head.〔 * Between a large post and a small post (a behind): 1 point, umpire waves white flag and raises one index finger.〔 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 behinds, the score is written as 1-4-10 (28), meaning one goal (six points) plus 4 overs (4 × 3 = 12 points) plus 10 behinds (10 × 1 = 10 points), for a total score of 28 points. An international rules match lasts for 72 minutes (divided into four quarters of 18 minutes each).〔 Inter-county Gaelic football matches go on for 70 minutes, divided into two halves, and Australian rules matches consists of four 20 minutes quarters of game time, although with the addition of stoppage time, most quarters actually last between 25 and 30 minutes. As in Gaelic football, teams consist of fifteen players, including a goalkeeper, whereas eighteen are used in Australian rules (with no keeper). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「International rules football」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
