International football rules (Ireland: Peil na rialacha idirnÃÆ'áisiunta âââ ⬠; also known as inter rules in Australia and compromise rules in Ireland) is a team sport consisting of a combination of soccer codes, developed to facilitate an international representative match between Australian rule players and Gaelic football players.
The first tour, known as the Australian Football World Tour, took place in 1967, with matches played in Ireland, England and the United States. The following year, a match was played between Australia and Meath Gaelic touring tour team Meath became senior champion of All-Ireland senior football. Following an international intermittent test between Australia and Ireland, the International Rules Series between senior international football teams Australia and the international football team of Irish rule have been played intermittently since 1984, and are generally a very suitable match. This sport has increased interest and exposure in emerging markets for Gaelic and Australian football and has been regarded as a development tool by organizing both codes, especially by the AFL Commission.
The international rules of football do not have a club or a special league. Currently played by male, female, and junior teams only in tournaments or Test matches.

Rules
This rule is designed to compromise or combine between two codes, with Gaelic footballers benefiting from the use of round balls and rectangular pitches measured about 160 yards wide by 98 yards (Australian rules using oval and field balls), while Australian players' rules soccer gets the benefit of a chance to tackle by grabbing between the shoulders and thighs and pulling to the ground, something that is banned in Gaelic football. The game also introduced the concept of a mark, from Australian football rules, with a free kick awarded for the ball that was caught from a kick over 15 meters, where the kick should be in the forward direction if coming from his team-mate.
A player must rise up, solo (kick into his own hand) or touch the ball on the ground once every 10 meters or six steps. A maximum of two bounce per ownership is allowed, while players can solo the ball as often as they want on ownership. Unlike in Gaelic football, the ball can be lifted directly from the ground, without putting the foot below it first. But players can not scoop the ball off the ground to a teammate, or pick up the ball if they kneel or on the ground. If the offense is committed, a free kick will be awarded, although the referee (called the referee in Australian Rules) may give the player a gross advantage to play on their discretion.
The game uses two large posts usually set 6.5 meters apart, and is connected 2.5 meters above the ground by the crossbar with a net goal that can extend behind the goal and is attached to the crossbar and under the goal, as in Gaelic football. The difference of 6.5 meters on both sides and not connected with the crossbar is 2 small posts, known as the back post, as in Australian rules of football.
Points are scored as follows
- Under the crossbar and go to goal (goal): 6 points, the umpire hoisted the green flag and raised both indexing fingers.
- Above the crossbar and between two big posts (ends): 3 points, the wave umpire waved the red flag and lifted one arm over his head.
- Between large posts and small post (behind): 1 point, the umpire wave white flag and raises one index finger.
Scores are written to clarify how many of each type of score are made as well as, like Australian football, give a total score points for each team; for example, if the team scored one goal, four overs and 10 behind, the score was written as 1-4-10 (28), meaning one goal (six points) plus 4 overs (4 ÃÆ'â â¬? 3 = 12 points) plus 10 rear (10 ÃÆ'â ⬠"1 = 10 points), with a total score of 28 points.
The international rules match lasts for 72 minutes (divided into four quarters of 18 minutes each). The inter-nation Gaelic football match lasted 70 minutes, split into two parts, and the Australian rule game consisted of four minutes of 20 minutes game time, though with the addition of extra time, most of the quarters actually lasted between 25 and 30 minutes.
As in Gaelic football, the team consists of fifteen players, including a goalkeeper, while eighteen is used in Australian rules (no guard).

Female Women's internal football rules â ⬠<â â¬
While women's Gaelic football has grown almost exponentially since the 1970s, Australian women's football rules have far fewer players, although the numbers have grown tremendously since the 1990s. In early 2006, representatives of the Gaelic Football Association Women and the Australian Women's Football League met at the Gaelic Ladies football festival in Singapore, and agreed to compete in a hybrid version of two football codes to coincide with the senior men's series. The 2006 Women's Series is the only series to take place.
Juniors
Among the first international schoolboy tests were played in Melbourne in 1983, when a team under 17 years old Victoria played in Ireland. An interesting twist in this compromise match is that the soccer ball used in Australia is oval shaped rather than a round ball.
The official junior series at U-17 level has been played in alternative countries since the early 2000s. Ireland completed a hat-trick series triumph from 2003-2005 before Australia won the junior series for 2006. The junior series was largely instituted by both leagues as a means of identifying emerging talent. Since then it has been abandoned.

Amateurs
The Australian Amateur Football Board has sent an amateur team of U-23s to Australia in 2005 and 2008. Australian amateur teams wear different uniforms for the AFL, dark green and gold representative teams, with kangaroo emblems. Recently, the Victorian Amateur Football Association (VAFA) has sent a number of players sourced from the top six divisions in the competition for the Irish tour and playing at various clubs and representative teams.
Masters
International rules also have a master category with some competition. There is also the International Rules of the Masters Series which follow the senior male series format and involves many retired Australian players and Gaelic Football players.

The University of Birmingham, UK, hosts an annual International Rules game between the Australian Rules football team and the Gaelic Football team, with the 2013 edition won by the Australian Rule 56-55 team, before a crowd of over 400 students.
In the International Rules Series, the most famous International Rules event, Australia and Ireland are deadlocked, with 10 wins each. Recently in 2017, Australia beat Ireland with two Test wins and an aggregate score of 116-103.
