Limerick v Cork: Hurling league final tickets to be distributed through counties and clubs

Tickets for Sunday week’s Allianz Hurling League Division 1A and 1B finals will be distributed through the competing counties and the clubs, with a public sale to follow.

Cork, who won the league last year after a 27-year wait, take on Limerick at TUS Gaelic Grounds on Easter Sunday (4pm), with the game preceded by the Division 1B decider between Clare and Dublin.

In 2025, the Cork-Tipperary clash at SuperValu Páirc Uí Chaoimh, which had Waterford-Offaly in the 1B final as the under-card, was a sell-out and similar levels of demand are anticipated.

To that end, the four county boards will receive allocations which will then be filtered down through the clubs in each county. Should any tickets remain after that, there will be a public sale – online and in Centra and SuperValu outlets, next Monday at 3pm.

A capacity crowd is expected at the same venue that hosted last year’s classic Munster Final which saw Cork eventually prevail over Limerick after extra-time and penalties.

Meanwhile, Cork GAA has announced details of its third annual Community Clean-up Day, which will take place on Saturday, April 11.

The initiative continues to position Cork GAA as a national leader in sustainability within the GAA. It forms part of An Taisce’s National Spring Clean month and continues to grow as one of the largest coordinated county-wide clean-up efforts undertaken by a GAA county board.

Building on the strong participation levels in previous years, which saw thousands of volunteers from clubs across Cork collect significant volumes of litter from roadsides, parks, walkways, beaches and community spaces, Cork GAA is encouraging even greater involvement in 2026.

The Clean-up Day will once again be supported by our valued and longstanding partners An Taisce, Tidy Towns, SuperValu, Cork County Council and Cork City Council, highlighting the strength of collaboration across the county in delivering meaningful environmental impact. SuperValu, a valued and active supporter of both the Tidy Towns competition and Cork GAA, and proud sponsor of Páirc Uí Chaoimh, continues to play an important role in championing environmental initiatives that strengthen communities across Cork.

Clubs representing hurling, football, camogie and ladies' football are invited to take part, with members of all ages encouraged to work together with neighbours, local groups and residents to make a visible difference in their communities. Equipment, including gloves, bags and high visibility vests, will be available to participating clubs through An Taisce to assist with the collection and proper disposal of waste gathered on the day. Beyond the immediate environmental impact, the initiative continues to build stronger links between clubs and their local communities, with underage teams and families playing a particularly visible role in previous years.

Enda Buckley, county sustainability officer, said: “Cork GAA’s Community Clean-up Day has become a key pillar of our sustainability vision.

“It reflects the role our clubs play as centres of sporting excellence and as leaders within their communities. Each year, we see extraordinary volunteerism across all age-groups, with players and families taking real pride in improving their local environment.

“As we gather again on April 11, we also remember John Mullins, whose vision and commitment helped establish this initiative. The best tribute we can pay is to continue growing this movement and strengthening the positive impact our clubs have across the county.”

The Community Clean-up Day forms part of Cork GAA’s wider sustainability vision, which promotes environmental responsibility, waste reduction and sustainable practices across all clubs in the county. The clubs that demonstrate the greatest initiative and engagement in delivering their clean-up activities will receive a prize in recognition of their efforts.
