The championship was organised on the traditional provincial system used in Gaelic Games since the 1880s, with Athenry, and Eglish, winning the championships of the other two provinces. Angela Downey scored 7–5 for St Paul's in their semi-final defeat of Eglish.
Glen Rovers won the final by a single point having lost a six-point lead in the closing stages. Angela Downey scored two snap goals for St Paul's before suffering a nasty injury and had to leave the field in an often robust final. Val Fitzpatrick was named Player of the Match. Anne O'Donovan became the first player to be sent off in an All Ireland camogie final at any level.[3][4][5]
