Until 2006 when the age limit for minor was raised from under-16 to under-18, to bring camogie in line with other Gaelic Games, the description "minor" was applied to under-16 camogie competitions from 1974 to 2005 which were played at under-16 level. Hence the under-16 competition from 1974 to 2005 was described as "minor" in contemporary documentation and media.
The under-16 B competition from 2000 to 2005 was described as "minor B" in contemporary documentation and media.
