Is similar to what we in Victoria call rugby (union or league?) but is called football in NSW and parts of Queensland. South Australia also calls Aussie rules football. Irish football is vert similar to Aussie rules football exept the ball is round, not oval. If we say we're going to the footy - it's definitely not rugby or soccer. Hope this clears it up.
