The road to Croke Park continues this Saturday as four of camogie’s leading counties battle for a place in the 2026 Glen Dimplex All-Ireland Senior Camogie Championship Final.
FBD Semple Stadium, Thurles will host a mouth-watering double-header on Saturday 25th July, with Galway taking on Kilkenny at 4pm before Cork and Tipperary face off at 6pm. Both matches will be broadcast live on RTÉ.
With a place on All-Ireland Finals Day at Croke Park on Sunday 9th August at stake, there is no margin for error as the remaining four contenders bid to keep their championship dreams alive.
Galway and Kilkenny renew their rivalry in the opening tie, with the Cats bidding for their first final appearance in 2022. The Tribe are bidding for back-to-back titles for the first time in their history.
Attention then turns to the meeting of Cork and Tipperary. The teams have faced off three times already in 2026, with one win apiece and one draw.
While the senior finalists will be decided this weekend, the line-up for two of the championship deciders on 9th August is already confirmed. Armagh will face Cavan in the Glen Dimplex All-Ireland Premier Junior Championship Final, while Antrim and Laois will contest the Glen Dimplex All-Ireland Intermediate Championship Final.
Supporters are encouraged to make their way to FBD Semple Stadium this weekend to experience two of the biggest fixtures in the camogie calendar, as the race for places on All-Ireland Finals Day reaches its climax.
