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.

    Group 2

  • Limerick defeated Cork in a playoff.
