Limerick can now look forward to a clash with their Munster neighbours in the 2026 All-Ireland Senior Hurling Semi-Final, set to take place in Croke Park on Sunday, July 5.
Clare made light work of Dublin in the quarter-final on Sunday, June 21, with a 13-point win over the Leinster side as the Banner made a return to Thurles.
Following this weekend’s quarter-finals, the fixtures are set for the semi-finals, with Limerick facing Clare on July 5 with a 4 pm throw-in at Croke Park, and following Cork’s 26-point win over Offaly, they will meet Galway in the first of the two finals to take place over the July weekend, with throw-in set for Saturday, July 4 at 3:30 pm.
Limerick will be hoping to carry their form into the semi-final following their incredible Munster Championship Final win over Cork, and will look for a repeat of their earlier clash with Clare in the Munster Championship round robin where they demolished the Banner side 2-30 to 1-18.
Clubs will have received their ticket allocations this morning, Monday, June 22, and it is expected that remaining tickets will go on general sale from Wednesday through Ticketmaster.
Making the most of their weekend free from matches, the Limerick hurlers were pictured in attendance at the Senior Football Championship clash between Kerry and Armagh at Fitzgerald Stadium in Killarney.
