After winning their first All-Ireland and League titles in 2005, Cork went on to dominate both competitions during the late 2000s and the 2010s. Between 2005 and 2009 Cork were All-Ireland champions five times in a row. They then achieved an All-Ireland six in a row between 2011 and 2016.

History

Early years

In 1973, during a carnival at Banteer, Cork played Kerry in an inter-county game. Kerry won by 5–10 to 4–11. The match was refereed by Dinny Long, the Cork senior men's footballer. In 1974, together with Kerry, Roscommon, Laois, Offaly, Galway, Waterford and Tipperary, Cork was one of eight GAA counties who played in the inaugural All-Ireland Senior Ladies' Football Championship. Cork and the other three Munster counties also agree to play an inaugural Munster Senior Ladies' Football Championship.[6][7] After thirty years living very much in the shadow of their neighbours, Kerry and Waterford, Cork won their first Munster title until 2004 and their first senior All-Ireland title in 2005.[8]

Senior final appearances

Between 2005 and 2016, with a team that included Valerie Mulcahy, Juliet Murphy, Angela Walsh, Mary O'Connor, Rena Buckley and Briege Corkery, Cork won eleven All-Ireland titles.[1][2][3][4][5] In 2014, after winning their ninth title, Cork won the RTÉ Sports Team of the Year Award. They were the first female team to win the award. They received 27% of the vote, beating the Ireland men's national rugby union team, winners of the 2014 Six Nations Championship, by 11%.[4][9][10]
