LIMERICK will play Cork in the All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship semi-final.
The eagerly awaited last four clash will take place in Croke Park on Sunday, July 7 at 4pm.
The other semi-final will see Clare play Kilkenny the previous day at 3pm - also in GAA Headquarters in Dublin.
Both ties will be televised live on RTE TV and all four teams will be battling to reach the July 21 All-Ireland final.
Curtain-raisers to both All-Ireland SHC semi-finals in Croke Park will be quarter-final ties in the All-Ireland Senior Camogie Championship.
The Limerick hurlers now stand two victories from a historic five in-a-row of Liam MacCarthy Cup titles.
The Limerick and Cork tie will be the first All-Ireland semi-final meeting of the counties since 2018 when extra time was required before John Kiely's men advanced to the decider, in front of an attendance of 71,073.
The last Croke Park meeting of the counties was the 2021 All-Ireland SHC final.
While Limerick won both those Croke Park outings, The Rebels have defeated the men in green this season - when the sides met on May 11 in SuperValu Pairc Ui Chaoimh the home side emerged 3-28 to 3-26 winners in front of an attendance of 41,670.
Tickets details for July 7 will be confirmed in the coming days.
The semi-final pairings were confirmed after this Saturday afternoon's quarter-final double-header in FBD Semple Stadium, Thurles - Cork overcame Dublin 0-26 to 0-21, while Clare were 2-28 to 1-19 winners over Wexford.
Six in-a-row Munster champions, Limerick look to have a number of players returning from injury. Richie English and Darragh O'Donovan were part of the 26 man panel for the first time this year in the Munster final. Sean Finn and Seamus Flanagan missed that game but are understood to be progressing well from their respective injuries and should be ready for selection on July 7. That would leave just the long-term injured Peter Casey absent when Limerick and Cork meet next month.
