Eight counties. Four spots at Croke Park on 9th August up for grabs.
Semi-finals are for winning. As the Glen Dimplex All-Ireland Premier Junior and Intermediate Championships turn for home, there are no second chances.
Glen Dimplex All-Ireland Intermediate Championship semi-finals
After spending spring mixing it with the big guns in Division 1A of the Centra Camogie League, and turning over Cork in the process, Antrim have been widely tipped as favourites for the intermediate crown.
And the Saffrons have taken care of business in ruthless fashion thus far, sealing their last-four berth with three wins from three in the group stage by a combined margin of 34 points.
They come up against a Meath side who will feel they have nothing to lose. The Royals dug deep for a hard-fought quarter-final victory over Derry, and will feel this is a free shot at the Ulster champions.
After falling to defeat to Offaly at this stage 12 months ago, Antrim will be gunning to make it back to Croke Park.
Kerry vs Laois, 3pm Saturday, Glenisk O’Connor Park – live on the Camogie Association’s YouTube channel
Both teams were part of All-Ireland finals day in 2025, with differing fortunes.
Laois claimed the honours in the Premier Junior showpiece, and have kicked on in 2026. The O’Moore County have looked at home at the higher level, and stunned Down in the quarter-final with a late goal from Kaylee O’Keeffe.
Can the Midlanders take the next step?
Kerry meanwhile fell three points short in the Intermediate finale last season. The Kingdom are bidding to go one better.
Backboned by the Clanmaurice contingent, those in Green and Gold are no strangers to the big day.
Expect a hard-fought battle in Tullamore.
Glen Dimplex All-Ireland Premier Junior Championship semi-finals
Armagh vs Roscommon, 1pm Saturday, Kingspan Breffni – live on the Camogie Association’s YouTube channel
Armagh and Roscommon are no strangers, having met in last year’s semi-final and the 2026 Division 3A League Final.
It was the Orchard County who prevailed on each occasion. Indeed, the Ulster outfit look like a team on a mission to claim top honours this season.
Armagh’s recent record against Roscommon makes for impressive reading, with victories in all three meetings between the sides so far this year across league and championship.
Cavan vs Kildare, 1pm Saturday, Glenisk O’Connor Park – live on the Camogie Association’s YouTube channel
Cavan have been the surprise package of the 2026 Glen Dimplex All-Ireland Championships to date. The Breffni County went five from five in the group stages, and are the form team in the Premier Junior grade.
However, they meet a Kildare side who have steadily gained momentum.
Rob O’Neill’s Lilywhites found themselves winless after their opening three outings. But successive wins over Wicklow and Tyrone saw them pip the latter to the fourth and final semi-final spot.
