LIMERICK will begin their 2024 Tailteann Cup senior football campaign against Down at Páirc Esler, Newry on Saturday next, May 11 at 4pm.
This will be the first of three fixtures Limerick will play in Group 4 of the competition.
A week later, May 18-19, Limerick will host Offaly, before finally, on the weekend of June 1-2, the Shannonsiders face London in a neutral venue.
Limerick are third seeds in the group after being relegated from Division 3 of the Allianz Football League and being knocked out of the Munster championship at the quarter-final stage at the hands of Cork.
Down will be a difficult assignment for Limerick in the opening round of Tailteann Cup after the Mourne men were narrowly beaten by Armagh in the Ulster semi-final and will be one of the favourites to win the competition.
