Camogie (in Irish, Camógaíocht) is a Celtic team sport, the women's variant of hurling. The rules are almost identical to hurling with a few exceptions. One is that goalkeepers wear the same colours as outfield players and a player in camogie can handpass a score, which is not allowed in the men's game. All games last 60 minutes (senior inter-county hurling games last 70), and dropping the camogie stick to handpass the ball is permitted. Unlike hurling, the referee is not responsible for timekeeping; there is an independent timekeeper. The All-Ireland Final is held every year in Croke Park during September, usually the week between the hurling final and Gaelic football final. There are two main competitions; the National League which is staged during the winter-spring months and is used as a warm-up to the All-Ireland Championships during the summer.

It is played mainly in Ireland, the most successful counties being Dublin, Cork, Kilkenny and in more recent times, Tipperary.

Dublin have won the most Camogie All-Ireland titles with 26, the last being in 1984. Kilkenny hold the record for the most successive Camogie titles with 7 victories between 1985 and 1991, their last title to date was won in 1994.
