2010 National Camogie League

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, in which Kilkenny came from behind to defeat Galway. ==Final==

In the final, played at Semple Stadium in Thurles on Saturday, 24 April 2010, Wexford defeated Kilkenny by 1–7 to 1–6. The winning point came from Ursula Jacob in the eighth minute of injury time, after a late goal from substitute Linda Bolger. ==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, unexpectedly 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. ==Fixtures and results==
