The 2024 National Camogie League, known for sponsorship reasons as the Very Camogie League, was held in spring 2024. It is a secondary competition for camogie county teams in Ireland, as well as some intermediate (second-string) county teams, held in spring prior to the All-Ireland Senior Camogie Championship.

Tipperary were the winners after beating Galway in the final.

Format

League structure

The 2024 National Camogie League consists of six divisions:

• Division 1A contains 6 teams
• Division 1B contains 6 teams
• Division 2A contains 6 teams
• Division 3A contains 8 teams, divided into two groups of 4
• Division 3B contains 5 teams

Each team plays every other team in its division once, except in 3A where teams only play the teams in their own group. 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 and relegation

In Division 1A, the top two teams meet in the Camogie League final. The last-placed team is relegated to 1B.

In Division 1B, the top two teams meet in the final, with the division champions promoted. The last-placed team is relegated to Division 2A.
