The 1967 Gael Linn Cup, the most important representative competition for elite level participants in the women's team field sport of camogie, was won by Ulster, who defeated Leinster in the final, played at Parnell Park.
An Ulster team with ten Antrim players fresh from their breakthrough All-Ireland success, defeated Connacht 9âÂÂ14 to 3âÂÂ0 at Cavan. Leinster defeated Munster 2âÂÂ5 to 3âÂÂ0 at Naas. Maeve Gilroy was the star in Ulster's first success in the competition, achieved with ten players from Antrim and two from Down as they defeated Leinster by 5âÂÂ4 to 5âÂÂ1 at Parnell Park. Agnes Hourigan wrote in the Irish Press: <blockquote>The final issue was in the balance until the last five minutes when Ulster lasted the fast pace better than their opponents. Leinster seemed in a strong position leading by twelve points to four when Ulster slammed home two great goals just before half time to leave the score 4âÂÂ0 to 3âÂÂ1 in favour of Leinster. Ulster took the lead when Maeve Gilroy pointed and Patricia Craigie scored a goal. Leinster took the lead again in the 20th minute when Nuala Duncan scored a goal from a melee. Ulster showed great determination from this point to the end and were clearly the fitter side, adding first a point then a goal, and finally a point to finish deserving winners.</blockquote>
