She has been goalkeeping for the Wexford Senior Camogie Team since 2003 and is regarded as one of the top goalkeepers in the game of camogie. Throughout her time at University College Dublin, D'Arcy helped the college bridge a 19-year gap to capture back the Ashbourne Cup for two years on the trot in 2007 and 2008. Her influential on-field presence and leadership was rewarded with an Ashbourne All Star award. The goalkeeper has also had success within the Poc Fada Camogie Championships, capturing the Leinster title on the double in 2008 and 2009, however due to national championship fixture commitments with Wexford, she was unable to participate at National level in 2008 and 2009.

Her captaincy came on the back of winning six Leinster Senior Championship's for her county Wexford.
