Kilkenny - All-Ireland Senior Camogie Finals Day
At Croke Park · Jones Road, Dublin 3, Co. Dublin
At Croke Park · Jones Road, Dublin 3, Co. Dublin
Camogie’s biggest day of the year lands at Croke Park on Sunday 9 August 2026, and Kilkenny supporters have every reason to be there. The Glen Dimplex All-Ireland Camogie Finals Day brings together the Senior, Intermediate, Premier Junior and Junior championship deciders under one roof - four All-Ireland titles decided across a single afternoon. If Kilkenny make it through to the Senior final, as expected following their unbeaten group-stage run, this is the day that matters. Even if your county interest is different, this is a genuinely compelling occasion: camogie at the highest level, at one of the world’s great sporting arenas, with a full house of passionate supporters from across Ireland.
The format puts four separate finals back to back, so there is rarely a quiet moment. The Senior final is the showpiece, but the Intermediate and Junior games often produce equally tight, physical hurling - different styles of play, different counties, all competing for the same All-Ireland honour. The Camogie Association has described Finals Day as their showcase event and a celebration of the sport and its community, and the atmosphere in Croke Park reflects that. The stadium holds over 82,000 spectators and tends to fill for days like this. Expect colour, noise, and skill from players who have been building towards this for the full season. Throw-in times and the exact running order will be confirmed by the Camogie Association in advance - check camogie.ie and Kilkenny Camogie’s own channels for the schedule as it is released.
Croke Park sits in the north inner city of Dublin, a short walk from Connolly Station and Drumcondra Station, both of which have regular trains from around the country. Irish Rail runs services from Kilkenny MacDonagh Station to Dublin Heuston, with a Luas or taxi connection to the north city from there. Bus Eireann also operates routes from Kilkenny into Dublin city centre. If you are driving, city centre parking fills fast on big match days - arrive early or use park-and-ride options on the city outskirts and come in by Dart or bus. Jones Road, where the stadium sits, is well signposted from the M1, M50 and N3 approach roads.
The match is in Dublin, but the occasion is rooted in Kilkenny pride - and there is good reason to spend a night in the county before or after. The medieval city has the castle, the arts festival, the craft quarter, and some of the best pubs in Leinster. There is more to see in Kilkenny and across Co. Kilkenny.
