The 2020 National Camogie League, known for sponsorship reasons as the Littlewoods Ireland Camogie Leagues, takes place in Ireland in spring 2020.[1][2] Several new rules are being trialled, to do with contact, persistent fouling, puckouts, dropping the camogie stick, hand-pass goals and penalty shots.[3]
The league was originally scheduled to end in April 2020, but public health measures introduced to combat the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic in Ireland caused the final stages to be delayed, with potential for them to be shortened or cancelled altogether.[4][5][6]
Format
League structure
The 2020 National Camogie League consists of three divisions: 9 in Division 1, 14 in Division 2 and 4 in Division 3; division 1 is divided into two groups and Division 2 is divided into three groups. Each team plays every other team in its group once. 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
The winners of each group in Division 1 contest the National Camogie League final.[7]
In Division 2, the three group winners and runners-up contest the quarter-finals; the three quarter-final winners then play a semi-final and final.
The top two teams in Division 3 contest the Division 3 final.
