The Camogie Association has launched the 2022 Glen Dimplex All-Ireland Camogie Championship Finals, which take place in Croke Park on Sunday 7th August in a triple-header.
Teams will compete for the Seaghan O’Duffy Cup (Senior), Jack McGrath Cup (Intermediate) and Kathleen Mills Cup (Premier Junior).
Kilkenny made this year’s Senior Final, after coming through a hard-fought Semi-Final with 2021 champions Galway, whilst Cork overcame Waterford in a tense and thrilling match in Croke Park.
Kilkenny will be looking to reclaim the silverware since their win against Galway in 2020. Cork will be seeking to make amends for last year’s All-Ireland Final defeat to Galway and move clear at the top of the roll of honour with 27 All-Ireland titles.
Galway will contest the Intermediate Final as they face a buoyant Cork side. Galway’s Intermediate team have won every game in their journey to the final. Now only Cork stand in their way.
The Premier Junior will see the Kathleen Mills Cup being claimed by Ulster, where Antrim will take on Armagh in the finals curtain-raiser.
Glen Dimplex announced a five-year sponsorship of the Camogie Association All Ireland Championships earlier this year.
“As proud sponsors of the Camogie Association All-Ireland Championships, Glen Dimplex is delighted to show our support for the Championship finals, in what is set to be an exciting triple header in Croke Park,” said Rowena Rodrigues, Group Head of External Relations and Engagement at Glen Dimplex speaking at the launch.
“All players have shown great dedication, commitment, and perseverance to reach this stage of the competition and we wish all teams the very best of luck.”
“We see a synergy between our business and the Camogie Association, given the energy that is exuded on the camogie pitch, and the sport’s role in inspiring and sustaining local communities.”
“We are delighted to be involved with the Championships and would like to congratulate all the players and teams who competed throughout the Championship.”
“Huge congratulation to all teams who have made it this far,” added Sinead McNulty, Ard Stiurthóir of the Camogie Association.
“It has been an exciting journey for each county and the games will reflect the endless hours of training and personal commitment that they have put in throughout the year.”
“I encourage and extend a warm welcome to all supporters, clubs and counties to come along and join us in supporting the game of Camogie and the six teams competing in Croke Park on the 7th August. It is sure to be a day like no other.”
The three finals will be televised live on RTÉ and the RTÉ Player on Saturday, 7th August and there is also a major push to get a big live attendance to Croke Park with tickets on sale now online and through SuperValu and Centra stores.
Family tickets for two adults and two children cost €60 and there are discounted tickets for OAP’s students and children.
