In a repeat of the 2016 final, UL Senior Camogie Team captured the Ashbourne Cup for the second year in a row in February 2017. The UL team defeated UCC in the final with the score line of UL 2-8 UCC 1-7. Credit to the players and management for producing an incredibly skilful and gritty final performance, which is ULs third Ashbourne Cup success in four years.
