Women's shinty is a sport identical to the men's game - with the same rules, same sized pitch and same equipment. However its history is significantly different. Social pressures - along with the broader game's self image - resulted in a largely hidden history until comparatively recently. It is a game that is a mix of ice hockey and lacrosse.
It is administered by the Women's Camanachd Association (Camanachd nam Ban)
There are compromise rules games against camogie teams.
