The Basics

The rules of camogie are similar to hurling, with the following differences:

1. A player may play the sliothar to their hand a total of three times as opposed to two in hurling.
2. Players may handpass into the goal or over the bar to score.
3. If a band is present on the bas of the hurley then it needs to be taped.
4. The pitch is smaller than a standard hurling pitch.
5. Camogie teams field thirteen players aside versus fifteen for hurling.
6. The sliothar is slightly smaller (size 4 versus size 5).
7. The goals are also slightly smaller.
