TODAY IS MAYO Day.

It’s a global celebration organised by Mayo.ie created to allow Mayo diaspora from all over the world to celebrate all things Mayo.

And so, in honour of Mayo Day, we decided to round up 9 reasons why Mayo might just be the best little county in Ireland.

1. The Mayo massif is REAL

9. Did we mention that Inishturk just so happens to be home to the greatest GAA pitch on the planet?

10. Niagara Falls turned red and green in its honour!

Case closed.

Happy Mayo Day, everyone!
