The 2007 All-Ireland Senior Camogie Championship—known as the Gala All-Ireland Senior Camogie Championship for sponsorship reasons—was the high point of the 2007 season in the sport of camogie. The championship was won by Wexford who defeated Cork by a two-point margin in the final thanks to two first-half goals by ‘player of the match’ Una Leacy. The final attracted a record attendance of 33,154.
Six teams competed in the Senior Championship out of twenty-seven who competed overall in the Senior, Intermediate and Junior Championships. They included Dublin, returning to senior ranks, managed by Tipperary born David Kennedy.
Cork, Galway, Tipperary and Wexford secured the semi-final spots. Wexford took revenge for their National Camogie League final defeat with an impressive 4-12 to 0-14 victory over Cork in the opening round at Ballincollig and six goals from Sarah Ryan gave Dublin a winning return to senior level with a 6-7 to 1-7 victory over Kilkenny in Portmarnock. Galway beat Kilkenny 1-12 to 1-4 in the second round. Cork beat Tipperary by 0-11 to 1-8 before Tipperary brought Wexford’s unbeaten run to an end by 1-17 to 0-11.
In the semi-finals at Nowlan Park Kilkenny, Wexford defeated Galway 2-18 to 0-14 to secure a place in the final for the first time since 1994. Kate Kelly scored 1-11, her goal coming midway through the opening half after a pass from earlier goalscorer Michelle Hearne. Cork defeated Tipperary 2-11 to 0-9 in what was the fourth championship meeting of the sides that year, with goals from Angela Walsh and Una O'Donoghue giving them a place in the final for the seventh time in eight years.
