The 1944 All-Ireland Senior Camogie Championship was the high point of the 1944 season in Camogie. The championship was won by Dublin who defeated Antrim by a 17 point margin in the final.[1][2][3][4][5][6] Gate receipts were £211.

Structure

The altercation with Dublin over the ban on hockey players re-emerged in 1943 and was compounded by another with Cork over male officials and they withdrew from the Camogie Association. In the absence of Cork, Clare defeated Waterford 3–1 to 3–0 in the Munster final to win their first Munster championship. They failed to score against Dublin in the semi-final while a late goal from Bridie O’Neill gave Antrim a semi-final victory over Galway.

Final

The weekend before the final Dublin travelled to Cork, who had not participated in the championship, and were defeated 3-0 to 1-3. This raised questions about the validity of the championship, as well as Dublin’s legality for having played an unaffiliated team. Bishop of Down and Connor, Daniel Mageean threw in the ball between Dublin and Antrim in final.
