The 2021 National Camogie League, known for sponsorship reasons as the Littlewoods Ireland Camogie Leagues, took place in Ireland in summer 2021.[1][2][3][4][5][6] It was won by Kilkenny.[7]

Format[]

League structure[]

The 2021 National Camogie League consists of four divisions:

  • 9 in Division 1, divided into three groups of 3 teams
  • 14 in Division 2, divided into four groups of 3 or 4 teams
  • 8 in Division 3, divided into two groups of 4 teams
  • 8 in Division 4, divided into two groups of 4 teams

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[]

In Division 1, two group winners (chosen randomly) advance to the semi-finals, while one group winner and the three group runners-up play in the quarter-finals.

In Division 2, the top two teams in each group advance to the quarter-finals.

In Division 3, the top two teams in each group advance to the semi-finals.

In Division 4, the top two teams in each group advance to the semi-finals.

Relegation[]

In Division 1, the 3 third-placed teams play a relegation semi-final and relegation final, with the loser relegated.

In Division 2, the last-placed team in each group plays in the relegation semi-finals, with the losers going into the relegation final, with the losers relegated.[1]

In Division 3, the 2 fourth-placed teams play a relegation playoff, with the losers relegated.
