The All-Ireland Senior Camogie Championship is the premier round-robin and knock-out competition in the game of camogie played in Ireland. The series of games are organised by the Camogie Association of Ireland and are played during the summer months with the All-Ireland Camogie Final being played on the second Sunday in September in Croke Park, Dublin. The prize for the winning team is the O'Duffy Cup.[1] The current champions are Cork, who beat Kilkenny by a score of 0-15 to 0-7 in the All-Ireland final on September 13, 2009.

Format
The county is a geographical region in Ireland, and each of 29 of the thirty-two counties in Ireland organises its own camogie affairs.
The camogie championship qualifying structure works as follows:
Counties Participating: Seven Counties participate in the Championship following the relegation of LImerick at the end of the 2009 competition. These are Clare, Cork, Dublin, Galway, Kilkenny, Tipperary and Wexford.
Round-robin series: The seven counties participate in a group series with the top four progressing to the All-Ireland Semi-Finals.
Top Winners
Dublin have won the All-Ireland Senior Camogie Championship the most times – twenty-six titles as of 1984. They won the very first All-Ireland title in 1932 and went on to dominate the competition for the next fifty years. Between 1948 and 1955 they won eight consecutive titles in-a-row. Two years later in 1957 Dublin began another great run of success which ended in 1966 with the capturing of their tenth consecutive All-Ireland title. Had it not been for defeats in 1947, 1956 and 1967 it is reasonable to assume that Dublin could have captured twenty-one All-Ireland titles in succession. ‘The Dubs’, however, have gone into decline over the last two decades and haven’t won the All-Ireland since 1984.
For a twenty-year period from 1974 until 1994 the Kilkenny camogie team dominated the championship. During those two decades the team collected twelve All-Ireland titles. Like Dublin’s story Kilkenny have also gone into decline and they haven’t won an All-Ireland title since 1994.
Since the turn of the twenty-first century both the Cork and Tipperary camogie teams have dominated the All-Ireland championship. Since 1997 at least one of these counties have appeared in the All-Ireland final every year. Between 1999 and 2006 Tipp won five All-Ireland titles from eight consecutive final appearances. Since 1997 Cork have won seven All-Ireland titles, their latest coming in 2009.
Six counties - Louth, Derry, Down, Limerick, Mayo and Waterford – all hold the unfortunate record of appearing in All-Ireland finals without ever winning the O’Duffy Cup.
