The 2025 National Camogie League,[1] known for sponsorship reasons as the Very Camogie League, was held in spring 2025.[2] It was a secondary competition for camogie county teams in Ireland held in spring prior to the All-Ireland Senior Camogie Championship.[3][4] Cork were the winners.[5] Compared to the 2024 season intermediate (second-string) teams were not able to play anymore reducing the total number of teams from 36 to 24 teams.
Format
League structure
The 2025 National Camogie League consists of six divisions:
- Division 1A contains 6 teams
- Division 1B contains 6 teams
- Division 2A contains 6 teams
- Division 3A contains 6 teams
Each team plays every other team in its division 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.
