All-Ireland Finals Day at Croke Park is one of the biggest days in the Gaelic games calendar for women’s sport, and in 2026 it falls on Sunday 9 August with four camogie finals across all grades. Armagh supporters have every reason to make the journey south - the county’s camogie team is competing in the Premier Junior All-Ireland Championship, and if they advance through the quarter-finals and semi-finals, they will line out at Croke Park in front of a packed Hogan Stand. This is a day for the whole county, not just the die-hard fan.
Four championship finals are scheduled on the day - Senior, Intermediate, Premier Junior, and Junior - making it a full afternoon of high-quality camogie from first whistle to last. Croke Park holds over 82,000 people and even a moderately attended Finals Day fills the lower tiers, creating an atmosphere that is hard to find at club level. The Glen Dimplex sponsorship has raised the profile of the women’s game considerably, and the association’s stated aim is to make 9 August a showcase occasion for the sport.
Armagh came through their opening round with a win over Kildare before a defeat to Cavan complicated their group-stage position. The Premier Junior grade is competitive and tightly contested - teams from Ulster have a strong recent record at this level, and Armagh have been in Croke Park finals before. Whether they feature in the final on the day depends on their semi-final result, so keep an eye on camogie.ie for confirmation as the championship progresses.
The venue is Croke Park in Dublin 3, not in Armagh itself. From Armagh city, the M1 motorway brings you to Dublin in around 90 minutes under normal conditions, though add time on match day as city traffic builds from mid-morning. Street parking near the ground is very limited on big match days. Dublin Bus serves the Jones Road area from O’Connell Street and the city centre. The Luas Red Line to Connolly Station puts you a short walk from the ground. If you are coming by train from Dundalk or Belfast, the Dublin Connolly line is straightforward - walking to the stadium from there takes around ten minutes.
If you are staying over or making a weekend of it, Armagh city is worth the time. The city has two cathedrals on facing hills, the Armagh County Museum, and good restaurants around English Street and Russell Street. There is more to see in Armagh and across Co. Armagh.
