The All-Ireland Minor Camogie Championship is the most important competition for under-18 teams in the women’s field sport of camogie. Counties compete for the Síghle Nic an Ultaigh Cup. There are graded competitions at Minor B and Minor C level.
The competition was established in 1974 for under-16 teams. In 2006 the age limit was raised from 16 to 18 and a separate under-16 championship established. Championships are also held at Minor B and Minor C level.
In 2006 the age limit for minor was raised from under-16 to under-18, to bring camogie in line with other Gaelic Games.
The first figure is the number of goals scored (equal to 3 points each) and the second total is the number of points scored, the figures are combined to determine the winner of a match in Gaelic Games
In 2006 the age limit for minor was raised from under-16 to under-18, to bring camogie in line with other Gaelic Games.
Until 2006 when the age limit for minor was raised from under-16 to under-18, to bring camogie in line with other Gaelic games, the description "minor" was applied to under-16 camogie competitions from 1974 to 2005 which were played at under-16 level. Hence the under-16 competition from 1974 to 2005 was described as "minor" in contemporary documentation and media.
The under-16 B competition from 2000 to 2005 was described as "minor B" in contemporary documentation and media.
