Kilkenny face Limerick in opening round of All-Ireland Camogie Championship
The championship opener takes place in Nowlan Park this afternoon
Kilkenny kick off their Glen Dimplex All-Ireland Senior Camogie campaign when they host Limerick in UPMC Nowlan Park this afternoon.
After a couple of disappointing championship seasons, the Cats are placed in a restructured Group 2 alongside today’s opponents, Clare, Dublin, Wexford and Offaly with only two All-Ireland quarter-final berths on offer.
Kilkenny Camogie has enjoyed a busy month, claiming an All-Ireland minor crown, while also featuring in U23A and U16A finals.
The seniors suffered a shock defeat to Wexford in the Leinster Championship semi-final, but will see themselves as frontrunners in Group 2 over the coming weeks.
They open against Limerick in UPMC Nowlan Park, live on the Camogie Association's YouTube channel at 3:30pm Saturday.
It has been difficult to get a read on this Treaty outfit thus far in 2026. A mixed league saw them narrowly miss out on a Division 1B final spot, but they then endured a heavy Munster semi-final defeat at the hands of eventual-winners Tipperary.
They will be looking to make a statement on Noreside on Saturday afternoon.
Kilkenny team to face Limerick- Aoife Norris; Maria Brennan, Michelle Teehan, Ava Brett; Caoimhe Dowling, Niamh Deely, Angela Carroll; Laura Greene, Caoimhe Keher Murtagh; Aoife Prendergast, Laura Murphy, Asha McHardy; Emma Shortall, Steffi Fitzgerald, Sarah Barcoe.
Subs: Ellen Gunner, Rachel Phelan, Miriam Bambrick, Emily Smith, Tiffanie Fitzgerald, Laura Phelan, Sofia Kerr, Jessica Smith, Rachel Dowling, Katie Nolan, Emma Mulhall, Ciara Dunne, Claire Doheny, Una Duggan, Aisling O’Sullivan.
