All-Ireland Junior Camogie Championship

(Redirected from Máire Ní Chinnéide Cup)

The All-Ireland Junior Camogie Championship is a competition for third-tier county teams in the women's field sport of camogie and for second-string teams of first-tier counties. In accordance with the practice in GAA competitions the term junior applies to the level of competition rather than the age group.[1]

History

edit

The competition was established in 1969 for the New Ireland Cup. The name was changed to the Kay Mills Cup in honour of former player Kathleen Mills in 2010.

In 2006 the second teams of the first-tier camogie counties were removed from the competition. Since 2010 the competition has been officially, though not popularly, known as the Premier Junior Ireland championship. It is the third-tier camogie competition after the O'Duffy Cup for the Senior Championship and the Jack McGrath Cup for the Intermediate Championship. The series of games, organised by the Camogie Association, are played during the summer months with the finals of the three competitions taking place on the second Sunday in September in Croke Park, Dublin.

Nancy Murray Cup

edit

The Junior A championship was introduced under new competition structures in 2006. The grade, the fourth tier for inter-county teams, was contested by Donegal, Louth, Mayo, Monaghan, Tyrone and Wicklow in 2021.[16]

The trophy is named after Nancy Murray who was President of the Camogie Association from 1973 to 1975. A member of the Deirdre club in Belfast, Murray won three All-Ireland senior medals with Antrim, coached her county to All-Ireland success in 1956 and 1967 and refereed four All-Ireland senior finals.

Máire Ní Chinnéide Cup

edit

The Junior B championship was introduced under new competition structures in 2006 for the fifth tier of inter-county teams. The trophy is named for Máire Ní Chinnéide, first president of the Camogie Association and one of the founders of the game in the Craobh a’ Chéitinnigh branch of Conradh na Gaeilge.
