Gaelic sports
Camogie
The women’s version of hurling: same pitch, same spirit, and a community that is growing in France.
Introduction
Hurling for women
Camogie is the women’s version of hurling. It is played on a rectangular grass pitch, larger than a football or rugby pitch: 130 to 145 metres long and 80 to 90 metres wide. In continental Europe it is played on standard football or rugby pitches.
The goals are H-shaped, as in men’s and ladies Gaelic football. The equipment and the game are close to hurling: you will find the details of the pitch, equipment and rules on the hurling page.

Official rules
The specific features of camogie are set out in the official guide of the Camogie Association.
