Borrowed from Irish camógaíocht.
Meanings
-
(uncountable) A women's stick-and-ball sport from Ireland, almost identical to hurling.
Camogie resembles hurling, although the field is smaller (110 meters by 68 meters), the stick, or caman, is smaller than a hurley, and the ball is also lighter than the sliothar.
