The 2019 National Camogie League, known for sponsorship reasons as the Littlewoods Ireland Camogie Leagues, took place in early 2019.
Galway won Division 1, defeating Kilkenny in the final.
Format League structure The 2019 National Camogie League consists of three divisions: 10 in Division 1, 15 in Division 2 and 6 in Division 3; division 1 is divided into two groups and Division 2 is divided into three groups. Each team plays every other team in its group once. 3 points are awarded for a win and 1 for a draw.
If two teams are level on points, the tie-break is: winners of the head-to-head game are ranked ahead if the head-to-head match was a draw, ranking is determined by the points difference (i.e. total scored minus total conceded in all games) if the points difference is equal, ranking is determined by the total scored
If three or more teams are level on league points, rankings are determined solely by points difference.
Finals The top two teams in each group in Division 1 contest the National Camogie League semi-finals.
In Division 2, the three group winners and runners-up contest the quarter-finals; the three quarter-final winners then play a semi-final and final.
The top four teams in Division 3 contest the Division 3 semi-finals.2019 FIXTURES: Littlewoods Ireland Camogie Leagues
