Cork Camogie to play Waterford in SuperValu Párc Uí Chaoimh this weekend

Speaking at the launch of Camogie Leagues early this week, Meabh Cahalane, from one of Cork’s great sporting families, is eager for another season at senior inter-county level.

Cork Camogie faces Waterford in the Very National League Division 1A on Saturday in SuperValu Párc Uí Chaoimh, and Cahalane knows the challenge ahead. “We went away to Waterford, played them at WIT, and only won by a point. It was a really tough game,” she recalls. “We’ve gotten quite familiar with them over the years in the league and Munster Championship.”

Looking ahead, she emphasizes the growing competitiveness in camogie. “It isn’t just Cork, Kilkenny, and Galway anymore—teams like Waterford, Tipperary, and Dublin are really pushing on.”

After last year’s All-Ireland triumph, Cahalane hopes Cork can build on their depth and resilience. “We had a strong panel and a strong bench, which made the difference. Hopefully, we’ll make an impression in the league from the get-go.”

Cork GAA and Cork Opera House Unite to Celebrate Heritage and Community

As the 2025 GAA season gathers momentum, and Cork fans look forward to another memorable year supporting their club and county teams, Cork GAA is delighted to announce a new partnership with a famed Cork institution that has also provided many magical memories for its legions of devoted supporters.

This year, Cork Opera House celebrates its 170th anniversary. The remarkable longevity of the Opera House is testament to the central role it has played in the cultural life of Cork over several generations, and reflects the great pride that the people of Cork have in it.

To mark this significant anniversary, Cork GAA is formally joining with Cork Opera House in launching a new partnership. This development is only fitting, as it acknowledges the historic and enduring importance of these two great Cork institutions in the social and cultural fabric of the city and county, and the extraordinary contributions they have made to Cork people and their communities.

Welcoming the launch of the partnership, Cork GAA CEO Kevin O’Donovan highlighted the coming together of two entities with a similar vision for Cork, noting that “both Cork GAA and Cork Opera House have a common identity. Each is committed to promoting excellence in their respective fields, and to providing joy and entertainment for their followers. But more especially, they are also symbols of what it means to be from Cork, and their respective importance to the people of Cork has endured over many decades. We in Cork GAA are delighted to be associated with such a beloved Cork institution”.

At the announcement of the partnership, Eibhlín Gleeson, Cork Opera House CEO said “’We’re thrilled to team up with Cork GAA as we head into our 170th anniversary year. Both Cork Opera House and Cork GAA are at the heart of this city, bringing people together through tradition, passion, and community. It’s rare to see the world of sports and the arts come together like this, which makes this partnership really special. We’re proud to celebrate what makes Cork unique and look forward to working together throughout this milestone year and beyond.’
