Hurling, because it doesn't require much more gray matter to figure out or ask a local WTF is going on, involves wielding an ash hurley (stick) to hit a sliotar (ball) between the other phukkars' goal post for 3 points if hit past a goalie in a net under a cross bar or for 1 point if the sliotar goes over the cross bar. And, because a hurley's sometimes used to smack a hurting on a pharkin' opponent.

Other stuff: Rules regulating actions of the hurlers (athletes) might initially be a bit challenging to understand, but they're not so challenging to figure out. Example: Unless the sliotars are hit on the ground or hit or bounced in the air with the hurley, hurlers can't run more than 4 steps, and the sliotar can't be hit with a hand more than 2X in a hurler's single possession.

For either hurling or Gaelic football, read a little in advance, ask someone in your hotel or the local team's local pubs ahead of going to the stadium, etc. Always good to befriend someone who will likely enjoy sharing a few rules of the sports, a few pints, etc. Both are great sports, enjoy!
