The 2026 McGrath Cup final between old rivals Kerry and Cork will take place at Fitzgerald Stadium in Killarney this weekend.
The decider is on Saturday afternoon with throw-in at 1.30pm in what should be a lively encounter at the home of the reigning All-Ireland champions.
Cork are going for a third successive McGrath Cup title, but the pre-season competition didn’t take place in 2025.
The Rebels lost to Kerry in the 2022 decider in Killarney before beating Limerick in the 2023 final and then the Kingdom in the following campaign's decider to retain the crown.
There is always interest when the old foes do collide and it will be no different this weekend especially with the start of the Allianz Football League the following weekend.
Cork host Cavan in their Division 2 opener on Sunday week at SuperValu Páirc Uí Chaoimh.
