Doubts have been expressed about the future of camogie’s All-Star tours due to the difficulty of finding a suitable window for them in the new split season.

This year’s tour, planned for Canada from May 19-26, was announced in February but cancelled after criticism and pressure from players who objected to travelling just a week out from the start of the Glen Dimplex All-Ireland Championships.
