There will be no homecoming for the Treatymen due to Covid-19, but the Mayor of Limerick is hopeful that a "special celebration" for a "special team" will be held in the near future.
Even though 40,000 fans were allowed into Croke Park for Sunday's decider, Limerick will not be able to have a homecoming and the Liam MacCarthy Cup is staying in Dublin.
But Limerick’s Mayor Cllr Daniel Butler has promised the people of Limerick that he will host a celebration for John Kiely and his team after they won their third All-Ireland in four years.
He told Morning Ireland on RTE Radio 1: "With regards to a celebration or a homecoming, a meeting happened between gardai, public health and Limerick council a couple of weeks ago and a decision was made that nothing could happen because of guidelines.
“I will assure the people of Limerick I will do something in the near future - within public health guidelines- we will definitely do something. They are a special team and they deserve a special celebration.
“The cup stayed in Dublin last night - they did this after the previous All-Ireland as well, the GAA have their own guidelines, I'm not sure if people realise that.
“But definitely, the players and the team will have the chance to enjoy the celebration and the glow that comes with it.”
Meanwhile, the Lord Mayor of Cork Cllr Colm Kelleher said he was "so proud" of the Rebels after Sunday's game.
He tweeted: "I am so proud of these lads. They gave it their all today, sadly it wasn't to be.
"Your City and County are immensely proud of you. You have given us all a summer to remember. God knows we needed it! Thank you.
"What do we do when we fall?We pick ourselves up. Welcome home lads."
