Even before Ireland hammered Australia's All Indigenous team in the 2013 International Rules double-header, the series' future had been in doubt.
Particularly on the Aussie side, there has been reduced interest in the meeting between the AFL and the GAA.
But the 101 point aggregate defeat is only likely to dampen enthusiasm for the series Down Under.
But how has the Australian sports media responded to the two-legged hammering?
The Age and Sydney Morning Herald (which sometimes share articles as they are part of the same media group) led with the headline "Australia suffers embarrassing series loss", slamming their team's performance. They also made a point of highlighting the "disappointing 28,525 crowd" at Croke Park for the final test.
Reporter Jon Pierik ended with the following ominous lines:
Australia's performance could not have come at a worse time, for the future of the series is uncertain, with even next year's return bout in Australia yet to be locked in.
The AFL has said it will attempt to persuade the game's best players to again take part. If it cannot do this, it's doubtful whether the GAA will be keen for the series to continue.
Beyond that however, one thing worth noticing is the scant number of articles that The Age dedicated to the series on their website. If that is not indicative of a problem, then it's hard to say what is.
The Australia also used the term "embarrassed to describe the Aussie performance. It also emphasized that the "future of the series remains in doubt".
Adelaide tabloid The Advertiser was even more harsh, claiming that the series needs to be "binned". Journalist Tom Biddington wrote: "That apathy is across the board too - from the fans, to the media and even the players."
He says the reasons to discontinue the series are as follows: because it was not a spectacle, the best players were not competing and it has become meaningless.
He ended his piece quite bluntly: "Let's not waste any more time, effort or money on one that doesn't."
And the lack of column inches, the series has got is even more damning from an Aussie perspective.
