The Liam MacCarthy Cup will be on the line as this year’s All-Ireland Hurling Championship reaches its crescendo at Croke Park. It has been a strange Championship in many ways. Tipperary, the defending champions, failed to make it out of Munster and, perhaps more surprisingly, Kilkenny failed to make it out of Leinster. The quarter-finals proved decidedly one-sided affairs, with Cork dominating Offaly and Clare pulling away from Dublin to book their place in the last four. Cork and Clare are joined in the semi-finals
by fellow Munster side Limerick, while Leinster champions Galway complete the line-up. The prize, of course, is a place in the decider. Here is everything you need to know about the 2026 All-Ireland hurling final: When and where is it on? The final will take place on Sunday, 19 July at Croke Park in Dublin. What time is it on? The throw-in time for the final has been set for 3.30pm. How can I watch it? The match will be shown on RTE and will
