At Various venues, Co. Antrim · Co. Antrim
The Armagh City Hotel Antrim Senior County Camogie Championship is the top club camogie competition in Co. Antrim, running from late summer through to October each year. Club sides from across the county battle through rounds to claim the county title - and in 2026 the final was a cross-border Ulster affair, with Antrim’s champions defeating Down 2-11 to 0-11 at Erins Own, Cargin. If you have any interest in Gaelic games at their most committed and local level, this is well worth a look. Fixtures are played across the county at club grounds, so you can often catch a match close to wherever you are.
Each round of the championship brings together club sides in a straightforward knockout or round-robin format, with the county final typically held in October. The standard is high - Antrim has been one of the stronger Ulster counties in camogie at both club and county level in recent years, and the competition is genuinely competitive from the early rounds. Matches are played at club grounds around Co. Antrim; the 2026 final was held at McCann Fields, Shore Road, Toomebridge - the home ground of Erins Own GAC, Cargin, a club founded in 1923 and one of the well-established GAC venues in mid-Antrim. Fixtures run from August through the end of October. Specific dates and draws are published at aontroimcamogie.com as the championship progresses.
