The 2019 National Camogie League, known for sponsorship reasons as the Littlewoods Ireland Camogie Leagues, took place in early 2019.[1][2][3]

Galway won Division 1, defeating Kilkenny in the final.

Format

[edit]

League structure

[edit]

The 2019 National Camogie League consists of three divisions: 10 in Division 1, 15 in Division 2 and 6 in Division 3; division 1 is divided into two groups and Division 2 is divided into three groups. Each team plays every other team in its group once. 3 points are awarded for a win and 1 for a draw.

If two teams are level on points, the tie-break is:

  • winners of the head-to-head game are ranked ahead
  • if the head-to-head match was a draw, ranking is determined by the points difference (i.e. total scored minus total conceded in all games)
  • if the points difference is equal, ranking is determined by the total scored

If three or more teams are level on league points, rankings are determined solely by points difference.

Finals

[edit]

The top two teams in each group in Division 1 contest the National Camogie League semi-finals.

In Division 2, the three group winners and runners-up contest the quarter-finals; the three quarter-final winners then play a semi-final and final.

The top four teams in Division 3 contest the Division 3 semi-finals.[4]
