After another thrilling summer of top-class hurling, two teams are left to battle it out to be crowned All-Ireland champions. Will it be Kilkenny, who have won the Liam MacCarthy Cup a record 19 times? Or will Limerick be crowned champions for the fourth successive year?

First contested in 1887, the All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship is the highest level of the sport. The final brings the nation of Ireland to a standstill as the best two teams in the country go head-to-head for the greatest prize. 

Each county has hopes of ending the summer with an All-Ireland winner's medal, but some counties produce better hurling players than other counties. Kilkenny and Limerick are two such counties. Limerick beat Kilkenny to win their second successive title, so motivation should not be an issue for the Cats.

The leading Ireland betting sites have Limerick as slight favourites, but Kilkenny will hope to get one better than last year and win their 20th All-Ireland hurling title.

It's perhaps no surprise that both finalists from last year are back to fight it out in the All-Ireland Senior Hurling final at Croke Park. A repeat of the 2022 final which Limerick won 2-26 to 1-31, would be greatly appreciated at the home of GAA.

Losing the final by just two points will have been painful for Kilkenny, who will make the most of their second meeting with Limerick, who are looking to become the first team since Kilkenny in 2009 to win a fourth successive Liam MacCarthy Cup.

Kilkenny will hope their goalkeeper Eoin Murphy's form continues following his heroics in the semi-final when he produced one of the best saves ever made in the sport. Peter Duggan will still be wondering how he didn't score an injury-time goal which would have levelled the scores. 

There will be plenty of betting offers available at the leading GAA betting sites before and during Sunday's final including free bet offers..
