camogie, essentially a women's version of
hurling, was invented by female members of the
Gaelic League. It was first played publicly at Navan, Co. Meath, in 1904. Unlike other Gaelic sports camogie is not controlled by the
Gaelic Athletic Association, though camogie clubs rely on
GAA facilities and funding. The game's appeal has always been limited, with most support coming from teams in Dublin, Cork, and Belfast.
