Camogie in County Kildare is administered by the Kildare County Board of the Camogie Association. ==History== Camogie was played in Kildare since the sport was first organised in 1904, although records are sparse. Athy Ladies Hurling Club advertised a members reunion in July 1909. Newbridge, Naas, Blacktrench, Prosperous and Ballymore applied unsuccessfully for affiliation to Kildare GAA board in 1921. Kildare sent delegates to the camogie congress of 1932, and a county board was formed in 1934 with Fr Byrne CC of Caragh as President, Mrs B McCarthy as vice-president, William Fisher of Newbridge as secretary, and Polly Smyth of Newbridge as treasurer. Camogie was reorganized at a county convention in 1954, and has been played in Kildare continuously since. After a series of successes at the junior level, Kildare was defeated by Cork in the National League semi-final of 1992, despite their best performance at senior level. Kildare teams played in navy and white (1930s), brown and white (1955–60) and blue and white (sporadically since the 1960s). White was adopted as the county color in April 1963. Kildare won the Nancy Murray Cup in 2010,〔2010 Nancy Murray Cup, Kildare 3-10 Armagh 2-8 in Ashbourne report in (Sunday Independent ), on (camogie.ie ) and (scorers )〕 having previously won the Kay Mills Cup in 1987, 1989 and 1990, their best period in the game.
