Camogie

Camogie is the form of hurling played by women. The game is basically the same in every way but one of the main differences is that it is played on a slightly smaller field.

Theorganisation responsible for camogie, Cumann Camógaíochta na nGael was founded in 1904 with the aim of providing Gaelic games for the girls and women of Ireland. Camogie quickly became popular throughout the country and also spread to other countries.

The Camogie Association (Cumann Camógaíochta na nGael) is now one of the largest sports organisation in Ireland for women and girls, and its membership includes many male colleagues who participate in such areas as administration, coaching and refereeing.
