Get a Setanta Broadband subscription and hook up online somewhere. I don't know about bigger cities like Miami or Tampa or Orlando, but I've spent a bit of time on the Gulf coast and Irish bars are not exactly numerous.

He's only there on hols so just looking a pub to watch it in.

Where in Florida is he?

Some of the lads posted links on the New York thread in the GAA section where you can do a search for subscribing pubs by zip code.

The broadband fee is about $15 per month, so I presume he could just join for the one month. There is a PPV charge for the championship games though. I paid about $100 for the whole football championship, but I don't what the single match fee is. Probably about $10.

And here's the link for the venue finder:
