Hurling isn't just a sport in Ireland -- it's a part of the culture.

The 3,000-year-old game combines skills used in hockey, lacrosse and baseball in a fast-paced competition. Hurling takes over Fenway Park on Sunday at the AIG Fenway Hurling Classic. Fans can find tickets and more information here.

NESN.com's Michaela Vernava and Andre Khatchaturian caught up with David O'Callaghan and other members of the Dublin hurling team in Boston to get a first-hand learning experience in the sport. Check it out in the video above.
