The 1948 All-Ireland Senior Camogie Championship was the high point of the 1948 season in Camogie. The championship was won by Dublin, who defeated Down by a 23-point margin in the final. It marked the return of Dublin to the roll of honour after an eight-year hiatus when it was separated from the rest of the camogie playing community, as the CIÉ club, which could call on the two greatest players of the era Kathleen Cody and Kathleen Mills, chose to affiliate to Central Council and their one-club selection won the All-Ireland championship.

Structure

Reigning champions Antrim were favourites to meet Dublin in the All Ireland final. Instead Down shocked Derry 4–5 to 1–0 at Kilclief.

Final

The All-Ireland final between Dublin and Down was played on a Saturday for the first time.
