camogie

The Oxford Companion to Irish History | 2007 | 432 words | Copyright

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.
