In light of the latest developments in relation to COVID-19 (Coronavirus) and upon advice from the relevant state authorities including the HSE, the Camogie Association will extend its current suspension of all Camogie activities until Tuesday May 5th (inclusive) or as further advised.
The Association will continue to defer all activity and competitions, however it is its intention to complete all competitions planned for the year.
The Camogie Association acknowledge that this step will result in further inconvenience and disruption to members as well as the game at all levels, however they appreciate the continued co-operation and support of everyone involved at this time. The health and safety of its members is, as always, of paramount importance and these steps will assist all in taking the necessary precautions to limit the spread of COVID-19 and to return to full activity as early as possible.

We encourage units and members to use this time to avail of the training and education opportunities being provided.
