Dublin GAA - Camogie

Camogie

Dublin are the most successful county in the women’s field sport of camogie, During the period from 1932 to 1966 they had nearly one third of the affiliated clubs in the Association and won all but eight of the championships they contested, winning a ten-in-a-row and an eight-in-a-row in a period interrupted only by a controversial 1956 All Ireland semi-final defeat to Antrim. In a period of revival they won three National Camogie League titles in the five year 1979-83 and the 1984 All-Ireland Senior Camogie Championship. The total could hav e been greater had not Dublin County Board disaffiliated during two periods of unrest in the 1940s. Three Dublin clubs have won the All-Ireland Senior Club Camogie Championship, Austin Stacks (1971 and 1972), Eoghan Ruadh (1967), and Crumlin (1985).
