Galway Camogie Club Championships 2026: Round 1

What to Expect

Galway’s club camogie season moves into its championship phase from 23 August 2026, when Round 1 of the Senior A, Senior B, Intermediate and Junior club championships all get under way on the same date. Clubs across the county, from city sides like Sarsfields and St Thomas’ to rural strongholds such as Clarinbridge, Athenry, Craughwell and Killimor, have been regular contenders in these grades in recent seasons, and the 2026 draws follow the same senior, intermediate and junior structure. The championships run in parallel with adult club leagues, and results across August and September determine seeding for the knockout stages, which typically produce semi-finals in October ahead of finals later in the autumn.

Good to Know

• Round 1 fixtures across Senior A, Senior B, Intermediate and Junior grades are fixed for 23 August 2026.
• Games are played at club grounds throughout the county rather than one central venue; check Galway Camogie’s fixtures and results pages for the ground and time assigned to each tie.
• Adult admission to club camogie fixtures is typically in the region of EUR 8-10, with concessions for students and OAPs and free entry for children, though prices can vary by fixture.
• The competition runs on into October, when semi-finals and finals are traditionally played, with recent finals broadcast via GalwayGAA.tv.
• Junior grades also include a 12-a-side Junior B format for smaller clubs.
• In the equivalent round of the 2025 championship, senior semi-finalists included Sarsfields, Clarinbridge, Athenry and Davitts, giving a sense of the standard of competition to expect from this year’s Senior A draw.

Getting There

Fixtures are spread across camogie grounds countywide. Confirm the venue for your chosen match on galwaycamogie.ie before travelling, since Round 1 draws span clubs from the city out to south and east Galway.
