Teams edit
The All-Ireland camogie championships are structured in three tiers -
- Ten county teams compete in the Senior Championship (tier 1)
- Twelve county teams compete in the Intermediate Championship (tier 2)
- Nine county teams compete in the Junior Championship (tier 3).
Nine of the senior camogie teams enter second teams in either the intermediate or junior championships. If the intermediate championship is won by a county's first team, that team is promoted to next year's senior championship. The winner of the junior championship is promoted to next year's intermediate championship provided that this does not result in two teams from the same county being in the same championship tier.
