MUNSTER and All-Ireland champions Limerick are set to face Cork in their opening fixture in the 2027 Munster Senior Hurling Championship at the TUS Gaelic Grounds.
Limerick will then play Waterford and Tipperary away from home before playing their final Round Robin fixture against Clare at the Ennis Road venue according to the Irish Examiner.
John Kiely’s men last played Cork in their opening Munster Championship fixture at home in 2019 and fell to a seven point defeat.
The Treaty County were also beaten by Cork in the opening round of this year’s provincial campaign but followed up with wins over Clare, Waterford and Tipperary.
Limerick then went on to face Cork in the final at SuperValu Páirc Uí Chaoimh and came away with victory on a 1-21 to 2-17 scoreline to earn their 26th ever provincial title.
Times and dates for the Munster Senior Hurling Championship are set to be confirmed in the coming weeks.
