The 2020 All-Ireland Senior Camogie Championship – known as the Liberty Insurance Camogie Championship for sponsorship reasons – is the premier inter-county competition of the 2020 camogie season.
The winners receive the O'Duffy Cup. Due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on Gaelic games, the tournament was delayed to the last months of the year, and was shortened to a season of twenty matches.[1][2]
Instead original fixtures will be rescheduled for 2021 championships.
Teams
Eleven county teams compete in the Senior Championship.[3] 20 lower-ranked county teams compete in the Intermediate and Junior Championships.
Format
Group Stage
The eleven teams are drawn into three groups. Groups 1 and 2 contain four teams; Group 3 contains three teams.[4] Each team plays each other team in its group once. Three points are awarded for a win and one for a draw.
Knock-out stage
The runners-up in groups 1, 2 and 3 and the winners of Group 3 play in the quarter-finals.
The winners of groups 1 and 2 meet the quarter-final winners in the semi-finals.[5]
Group stage
Group games took place between 17 October and 8 November.
