The GAA have confirmed that they are exploring the possibility of playing the 2027 Allianz Hurling League final in September at the TUS Gaelic Grounds, to coincide with the Ryder Cup in Co Limerick.
After a report in the Irish Examiner touted the possibility, officials confirmed the option is on the table.
"The GAA is considering an opportunity that has been presented to it to stage the 2027 Allianz League Hurling final in Limerick next September around the Ryder Cup," the Association said in a statement to RTE Sport.
"To that end, consultation with the seven teams competing in that competition next year, will take place.
"Plans for the competition will be confirmed when that process is complete."
Consultations between the seven competing counties and the Gaelic Players Association would have to be undertaken before the move can be confirmed.
Limerick will be defending league champions beating Cork at the TUS Gaelic Grounds on Easter Sunday.
Deferring the final by five months would also affect the club championships in the competing counties.
