Cork–Limerick hurling rivalry

The Cork-Limerick rivalry is a hurling rivalry between Irish county teams Cork and Limerick, who first played each other in 1893. Since the turn of the century it has come to be regarded as one of the biggest rivalries in Gaelic games.[1] Cork's home ground is Páirc Uí Chaoimh and Limerick's home ground is the Gaelic Grounds, with each fixture alternating between the two venues.

While Cork are the standard bearers in Munster, Limerick have enjoyed success at sporadic intervals - although they have won just two All-Ireland titles since 1940 and two Munster titles since 1996. At All-Ireland level Cork are second on the all-time roll of honour with thirty titles, while Limerick rank in fourth position with eight All-Ireland titles. On 29 July 2018, the sides met at Croke Park for the first time in the championship in the all Ireland semi-final.
