The All-Ireland Senior Camogie Semi-Finals are set to be televised this August.

The Camogie Association have confirmed today that both semis, as well as the Final, will be broadcast on RTE One.

Laois captain Olga Parkinson says the extra coverage will boost the game

Launching this year’s Championship, Camogie Association President Catherine Neary said that live TV coverage of the semi-finals for the first time underlined the growing appeal of Camogie on the national stage.

“Camogie is one of the fastest-growing games in the country right now, with more people watching and playing than ever before,” said Ms Neary. “Live coverage of the semi-finals is not only a huge additional carrot for the quarter-finalists but an extra opportunity for TV viewers to enjoy the thrilling spectacle of top-level Camogie.

“We expect that the additional investment by the Association and Liberty Insurance in TV coverage in conjunction with RTÉ, will continue to raise the profile of this year’s Championship and further showcase the skills of the game and the dedication of our players” Ms Neary added.

“We’re also lucky and extremely grateful to have Liberty Insurance partnering with us again this year, helping to promote women’s sport with some fantastic ideas to boost attendances and participation.”
