The first official camogie match after the formation of the National Governing Body – The Camogie Association – was played on July 17th 1904 between Dublin clubs Keatings and Cúchulainns. To mark this milestone, Camán to 120 Commemorative blitzes will take place in Pairc Tailteann in Meath, McHale Park in Mayo and The Gaelic Grounds in Limerick on 17th July where over 3,000 U12 players will participate throughout the day.
This launch kicks off an exciting period of celebration for the Camogie Association which will see further activity at the All Ireland Camogie Finals in August, a Gala Dinner this summer as well as club camogie celebration days later in the year where each club across the island of Ireland and internationally will celebrate camogie in their own unique way.
Speaking at the launch, Brian Molloy Uachtarán of the Camogie Association, said:
“Our UNESCO recognised national sport Camogie has been played in Ireland back through the mists of time, but 2024 is a particularly big year for the Camogie Association as we celebrate 120 years since our formation as a National Governing Body.
I’m delighted to be at the headquarters of Gaelic Games today to unveil our fabulous commemorative jerseys, one of the many steps we are taking to mark our big anniversary.
We are sure that our members in Ireland and indeed across the world will love the commemorative jerseys and I urge as many as possible to go onto the O’Neills site to buy one and wear it with pride over the course of this season. We would like to take the opportunity to thank O’Neills for working with us to produce such a high quality product for this great occasion”.
