Cork v Limerick in the Munster Senior Hurling Championship: Throw-in time, TV details and everything you need to know

The Rebels will be looking to make it two wins out of two following their win against Tipperary. Should they do so, it will also see them avoid a third successive lost to the Treaty county in 2026.

Two down, potentially three to go.

Well, that’s what many so-called hurling experts will have you believe but there are a few teams that will have something to say about that.

But yes, this will be the third meeting of the year between old rivals Cork and Limerick with the prospect of two more to come in the Munster final and the All-Ireland.

The Rebels will be looking to make it two wins out of two in the Munster Senior Hurling Championship following their win against Tipperary in Thurles last Sunday.

Should they do so, it will also see them avoid a third successive lost to the Treaty county in 2026, having already been beaten by their familiar foes in the group stage of the league and the league final.

Limerick had last weekend off so they will be raring to go as they look to reclaim the Munster crown currently held by Cork, who ended their seven-in-a-row bid in 2025.
