The 2010 All-Ireland Senior Camogie Championship—known as the Gala All-Ireland Senior Camogie Championship for sponsorship reasons—is the high point of the 2010 season in the sport of camogie. It commenced on June 13, 2010, and ended with the final between Galway and Wexford on 12 September 2010 which Wexford won by 1-12 to 1-10. Seven teams compete in the Senior Championship out of twenty-seven who competed overall in the Senior, Intermediate and Junior Championships.

Structure

The seven teams played one another once, and received 2 points for a win, 1 point for a draw. The top four teams then contested the semi-finals, in which both 2009 finalists were defeated, defending champions Cork by Galway by one point in a replay and 2009 finalists Kilkenny by National Camogie League 2010 champions Wexford.

Finals

For the first time since 2006 the finals did not share a billing with the All-Ireland Under 21 Hurling Championship. Instead the All Ireland Senior, Intermediate, and Junior championship finals were held on the same day.

Galway Anomaly

When Galway beat Wexford 1-8 to 0-10 in the group stages only to lose the final 1-12 to 1-10, it was the third time in the five years since the championship moved from a knockout system to a round-robin format in 2006 that the runners-up defeated the eventual champions in the group stages.
