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.[http://www.camogie.ie/files/2019%20Littlewoods%20Ireland%20Camogie%20Leagues%20Fixtures.pdf 2019 FIXTURES: Littlewoods Ireland Camogie Leagues]
