National Camogie League Irish Sraith Náisiúnta Camógaíochta Founded 1976–77 Title holders Wexford (4th title) First winner Tipperary Most titles Cork (14 titles) The National Camogie League[1] is the second most important competition in the Irish team sport of Camogie, played exclusively by women. The competition is held in four divisions graded by ability. It was first played in 1976 for a trophy donated by Allied Irish Banks when Tipperary beat Wexford in a replayed final. Division Two (originally the National Junior League) was inaugurated in 1979 and won by Kildare.[2]
The first two National League competitions started in the autumn and finished in the spring of 1976–77 and 1977–78 respectively. Since 1978 the competition has been competed within the calendar year. The 2001 final was not played until October because of the Foot and Mouth outbreak earlier in the year. From 1980 to 2005 the National League was divided into two sections – Senior and Junior. The current structure with Divisions 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 was introduced in 2006. The second division was known for a period as Division 1B and the third Division was Divisions 2, they have been reallocated for reasons of consistency in the records below.
The current holders are Wexford who defeated Galway by 3-10 to 0-10 in the 2011 final.
