The 1971 All-Ireland Senior Camogie Championship was the high point of the 1971 season. The championship was won by Cork, who defeated Wexford by a 13-point margin in the final.^{[1][2][3][4][5][6]} The match drew an attendance of 4,000.

Kilkenny won the Leinster Championship for the first time when they defeated Dublin 5–3 to 4–3 and received an unexpected bye to the All-Ireland final when Galway withdrew, receiving a three-month suspension from Central Council for failing to fulfil the fixture.

Cork took control of the final in the first half. Agnes Hourigan wrote in the Irish Press

The game was won and lost in the five minutes preceding the interval with Wexford leading 1-1 to 0-2 in the 20th minute when, Rosie Hennessy and Anne Comerford, last year’s captain, cracked home three Cork goals.^[7]
