The University of Limerick is transforming into "an Olympic-style sporting village" for the next week, as it hosts the European Ultimate Frisbee Championships.
The tournament will start on Saturday, July 15th with the finals and a medal ceremony the following Saturday.
It includes Mixed, Women and Open divisions of the sport.
Jessica Chambers plays for Ireland and will be defending her title.
She told Newstalk Breakfast it is more of a team game than people realise.
"It is about speed [and] distance, but it's also your ability to throw," she said.
"It's on a pitch about the size of a soccer pitch with two end zones, almost like a rugby pitch.
"It's seven-aside and you're not allowed run with the disc - so the aim is to throw the disc between your teammates and progress it up the pitch.
"You score points by catching it in what's called the end zone.
"It's defended like [the GAA] as well, you would defend person to person and then your defence is trying to intercept and trying to get the frisbee from the other team".

"You want to get as much spin on the disc as you can, so it can fly through the air well," she said.
"There are many different throws that you can throw depending on your defence or what your tactics are.
"You can do short ones or big, long ones - a lot of people are fans of the overheads".
Jessica said the tournament being hosted here is actually unconnected to Ireland defending their 2019 title.
"The team in Limerick... actually hosted a tournament last year, the World Club Masters," she said.
"They did such a good job that they put in a bid to run it this year for Europeans and they got awarded the bid.
"[It] changes around location across Europe based on people putting in bids, and the Limerick crew are just so great," she added.
