The 1998 All-Ireland Senior Club Camogie Championship for the leading clubs in the women's team field sport of camogie was won by Granagh-Ballingarry from Limerick, who defeated St Vincents from Dublin in the final, played at Ballingarry.[1][2] It was the last club championship final to be played with 12-a-side.
The championship was organised on the traditional provincial system used in Gaelic Games since the 1880s, with Pearses (who were from Galway) and Leitrim Fontenoys (who were from Down) winning the championships of the other two provinces. Eileen O'Brien, a student at St Mary’s, Charleville, was chief playmaker and scored 1–7 herself as Granagh-Ballingarry defeated three-in-a-row chasing Pearses from Galway in the semi-final. Louise Lynch, Denise O'Leary and Denise Smith scored St Vincent’s goals in the other semi-final.
