Marie O’Gorman is a former camogie player, captain of the All Ireland Camogie Championship winning team in 1945.

The final was played at Cappoquin, at a time both Cork and Dublin were suspended by camogie central council.

Prior to the 1945 final she exchanged gifts with her Waterford counterpart Biddy McGrath, receiving a box of chocolates and presenting a pund of tea, reflecting war-time shortages in the two jurisdictions. The O'Duffy Cup was not presented as Dublin, in dispute with the Camogie Association, had not returned it.
