British viewers hoping to watch Sky Sports coverage of the All-Ireland championships on the internet will be disappointed to learn that the broadcast won't be available to them.

The GAA and RTE are to launching a worldwide streaming service that will broadcast GAA matches in a pay-per-view service, but this does not include the British audience.

Sky are set to broadcast 14 matches in the All-Ireland GAA hurling and football championships this year, while games that will be shown on both RTE and Sky will be available to anyone with a broadband connection, except those in Britain.

However, all games that are to be shown on Sky Sports will be available to GAA supporters in the U.K and GAA Director General Padraic Duffy feels that the exiles are getting a good deal.

"Nearly every pub in Britain has Sky Sports. It will be very easy for people to access the games. I don't see that being a problem in Britain," Duffy told the Irish Post. Tweet
