All-Ireland Camogie Championships planned for October to December

The Camogie Association plans to run the 2020 Liberty Insurance All-Ireland Championships between October and December.

However, the Littlewoods Ireland Camogie Leagues which got underway last February have been cancelled along with the All-Ireland minor Championships, though provincial competitions at that grade will be played before the year is out.

The exact format and dates of the inter-county Championships at adult will be confirmed in the coming weeks though they will start with a round robin stage, albeit with larger groups, and there will be no automatic promotion or relegation this year.

The 2020/21 AIB All-Ireland Club Championships will proceed as normal but with a revised calendar that will run into 2021.

A Camogie Association statement said: “The Association wishes to acknowledge that the cancellation of many competitions is of great disappointment to those involved however due to these unprecedented times many such difficult decisions have had to be made.

“The health and safety of our members is of paramount importance and the ‘Safe Return to Gaelic Games’ plan offers a route back to activity, subject to the government timelines being achieved in the weeks and months ahead.

“We thank all of our members for their continued cooperation and support throughout this process.”
