The 2016 National Camogie League, known for sponsorship reasons as the Irish Daily Star National Camogie League, was held in spring 2016 and won by Kilkenny.[1]

Format[]

League structure[]

The 2016 National Camogie League consists of three divisions: 11 in Division 1, 12 in Division 2 and 5 in Division 3; 1 and 2 are divided into two groups. Each team plays every other team in its group once. 3 points are awarded for a win and 1 for a draw.

If two teams are level on points, the tie-break is:

  • winners of the head-to-head game are ranked ahead
  • if the head-to-head match was a draw, ranking is determined by the points difference (i.e. total scored minus total conceded in all games)
  • if the points difference is equal, ranking is determined by the total scored

If three or more teams are level on league points, rankings are determined solely by points difference.

Finals, promotions and relegations[]

The top two teams in each group in Division 1 contest the National Camogie League semi-finals.

The top two teams in each group in Division 2 contest the Division 2 semi-finals.

The top four teams in Division 3 contest the Division 3 semi-finals.
