An Irish team sport for women, similar to hurling but with modified rules, played with a wooden stick and small ball.
From Irish camogie, formed from camóg (the stick used in hurling) with a feminizing suffix. Created in the early 1900s as a specifically women's version of the male sport hurling.
Camogie was invented specifically because Irish women were banned from playing hurling—so they created their own sport, and now it's genuinely beloved with passionate fans, proving sometimes exclusion sparks something better!
