The 2011 National Camogie League was won by Wexford, their third league title in succession. The final was played on April 17, 2011 as a curtain raiser to the hurling match between Tipperary and Wexford at Semple Stadium[2] and drew an attendance of 4,180.[3]

Summary

The first National Camogie League Match ever to be televised live opened the season, an unfortunately one-sided encounter under lights in Croke Park in which Kilkenny (7-16) beat Dublin (0-5), televised by Setanta Sports. [4] The eight teams in the first division (Offaly having been promoted since 2010) were drawn into two groups of four. 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 Nowlan Park, Kilkenny on 3 April 201q,[5] in which Galway won revenge for the previous year, beating Kilkenny with a last minute point from Veronica Curtin, and Wexford defeated Tipperary with first-half goals from Una Leacy, Kate Kelly and Katrina Parrock. [6] In the final at Semple Stadium Thurles on Sunday, 17 April 2011, Wexford’s player-of-the-match Una Leacy scored three goals, one from a penalty, against |Galway.[7] Wexford led by 1-5 to 0-6 at half-time. 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, champions for the past two seasons. The divisional competition was marred by the withdrawal of the previous year’s third division champions, Laois. Waterford defeated Antrim by a point in the Division 2 final. Five teams contested Division 3, including the second team of Dublin with Meath topping the table and defeating Kildare by a point in a very competitive final. Four counties contested Division 4. London dropped out and Cavan re-entered the competition, but the divisional fixtures were incomplete as Carlow contesting just one of their three fixtures. Westmeath defeated Cavan in the final.
