History

1930s

The first Cork Camogie Senior Championship was held in 1932.

1940s

In 1947 Imokilly won the championship, beating a factory team from Dwyer’s’ Lee Hosiery Company on North Main Street (the factory building now houses Mr. Price on North Main Street and goes through to the Bodega Bar on Cornmarket Street) in the final.[1] The former were the second divisional team to win the title and the latter the last factory team to contest a final.[2]

In 1948, Blackrock won their first title.

1950s

The Glen Rovers club won its first championship in 1950.

1960s

Glen Rovers were the dominant team in the 60s, winning seven titles in a row from 1960 to 1967.

1990s

Glen Rovers were the dominant team in the 90s, starting off the decade by winning the 1990, 1991, 1992 and 1993 championships.

After the 1993 championship (when the Glen also won the All-Ireland), the Cork Senior Camogie Championship was reorganized into a Senior A Championship with Glen and the Divisional Sides (Seandún, Imokilly, Muskerry and Carbery), and a Senior B Championship with all the other Senior clubs.[3]

The Glen won the first three of these Senior A Championships to make it seven senior titles in a row. They beat Seandún in 1994, 1–14 to 1–9, and also won in 1995 and 1996.

2000s

Milford were Runner-Up in 2004 and 2009.

Milford and Inniscarra were the dominant teams in this decade.

Milford had wins in 2012, 2013, 2014 and 2015. They were also Runners-Up in 2011 and 2016.

Inniscarra had wins in 2010, 2016 (beating Milford, 4–10 to 2–13), 2017 (beating the Glen, 2–13 to 1–10) and 2018 (beating Courcey Rovers). They also lost the final in 2019 (to Sarsfields, 0–15 to 3-09) and the first two finals of the following decade (see below).
