The 2010 National Camogie League, the second most important elite level inter-county competition in the women's team field sport of camogie was won by Wexford for the second year in succession. They defeated Kilkenny in the final, played at Semple Stadium.^[1]^[2]

Arrangements

The seven teams in the first division were drawn into two groups of four and three. Each team played one another once only. The top two in each group contested the semi-finals. Since 2006 the league is organized into four divisions, with 22 competing county teams graded into four divisions, with the strongest teams in Division 1. The semi-finals were contested at O'Connor Park, Tullamore on 10 April 2010,^[3] in which Kilkenny staged a remarkable comeback to defeat Galway,.

The Final

final at Semple Stadium Thurles on Saturday, 24 April 2010, Wexford defeating Kilkenny by 1-7 to 1-6, the winning point coming from Ursula Jacob in the eighth minute of injury time,^[4] after a late goal from substitute Linda Bolger. Wexford manager JJ Doyle told the Irish Times his job should come with a health warning after the victory.^[5]

Lower Divisions

Eleven counties in Division 2 were drawn in two groups of five and six, including the second teams of Cork, Galway, Kilkenny, Tipperary and Wexford. Wexford intermediates, managed by Karen Barnes and captained by Ciara O'Connor of Rathnure, surprisingly defeated Offaly in the final by 2-9 to 1-9, the second year in succession that Wexford has simultaneously held the first and second division titles. Six teams contested Division 3, including the second team of Dublin with Laois defeating Meath in the final, and three counties contested Division 4, including London, with Westmeath defeating Tyrone in the final.
