History of the Game - Stair an Cluiche

Camogie is the female version of the GAA Sport hurling. The game of hurling is unique to Ireland and is one of the fastest field games in the world. It has always been a huge part of our culture and heritage and is our national sport. Hurling and camogie are very skillful games.

Cumann Camogaiochta na nGael is the first organisation to have promoted a Gaelic game for females - Camogie, akin to hurling. Founded in 1904, today it has the largest number of females, in excess of 150,000, participating in Ireland in a field game. Its membership includes many male colleagues who participate in such areas as administration, coaching and refereeing.

Cumann Camogaiochta na nGael embraces all of Ireland and its units abroad in England, Scotland, Wales the United States, Australia and many parts of Europe. All age-groups are provided for, through our Central, Provincial, County, Club, Primary Schools, Second Level Colleges and Third Level Colleges structures.

Twelve All-Ireland competitions are held annually and countless others are organised under the auspices of the County Boards, Provincial Councils and Schools and Colleges Councils. Cumann Camogaiochta initiated Development, Coaching, Administration and Referee programmes for Gaelic games.

Cumann Camogaiochta na nGael is a community, family, health and safety orientated organisation. The Cumann is very conscious of the wealth of its Gaelic heritage and of the opportunity to share that heritage and culture, while embracing other heritages and cultures, in the Ireland of today.
