The 2017 All-Ireland Senior Camogie Championship – known as the Liberty Insurance All-Ireland Camogie Championship for sponsorship reasons – was 2017's premier inter-county camogie competition.

The winners receive the O'Duffy Cup.

The championship began on 10 June 2017 and ended on 10 September with a Cork victory.

Teams

The All-Ireland camogie championships are structured in three tiers - Ten county teams compete in the Senior Championship (tier 1) Twelve county teams compete in the Intermediate Championship (tier 2) Nine county teams compete in the Junior Championship (tier 3).

Nine of the senior camogie teams enter second teams in either the intermediate or junior championships. If the intermediate championship is won by a county's first team, that team is promoted to next year's senior championship. The winner of the junior championship is promoted to next year's intermediate championship provided that this does not result in two teams from the same county being in the same championship tier.

Senior Championship Teams – Clare Cork Dublin Galway Kilkenny Limerick Offaly Tipperary Waterford Wexford

Intermediate Championship Teams – Antrim Carlow Cork (second team) Derry Down Galway (second team) Kildare Kilkenny (second team) Laois Meath Tipperary (second team) Wexford (second team)
