The weekend was a feast for sports fans as the Premier League's return coincided with the All-Ireland football semi-finals.
A packed house was at Croke Park to see old rivals Dublin and Mayo clash for a place in the showpiece on Saturday.
Mayo went in at the break with a two-point lead but a devastating second half display saw Dublin move one step away from a fifth successive All-Ireland title.
On the same day, Ireland got their World Cup preparations in full swing with a workmanlike 26-16 victory over Italy.
In the Premier League, normal service resumed for Manchester City who ran out 5-0 winners against West Ham in London.
Then attention turned back to GAA HQ on Sunday where Kerry battled back with a storming finish to see off Tyrone and book their place with the Dubs in September's final.
We have put together some of the best pictures from the weekend's sport in the gallery above.
