Previous attempts to change the skort rule did not pass at the Camogie Association’s Annual Congress in 2024.
Camogie is governed by the Camogie Association of Ireland, which is closely linked to the Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA) and alongside the Ladies Gaelic Football Association is scheduled to formally integrate into the wider GAA in 2027.
Camogie Association president Brian Molloy said on Thursday: “Our goal is to deliver, as quickly as possible, a best-in-class playing uniform designed for female players and allowing for individual choice.”
Following the stance taking by the Kilkenny and Dublin teams in last Saturday’s game at Blanchardstown, Cork and Waterford players have said that they will wear shorts in Saturday’s Munster Senior Final.
A number of Dublin club teams have worn shorts in fixtures this week after the county’s camogie board told referees to allow games to proceed even if players didn’t wear skorts.
Dublin captain Aisling Maher described last weekend’s episode as a “career low” adding that she was “sick of being forced to wear a skort that is uncomfortable and unfit for purpose”.
