Another triumph will put them seven titles clear of Cork who have racked up 30 titles through the years.

The Rebels are the leading Munster side - three clear of Tipperary who are looking to lift the Liam McCarthy Cup for the first time since 2016 on Sunday.

In fourth spot is reigning All-Ireland champions Limerick who ended a 45-year wait when they triumphed in 2018.

Galway, who are in seventh spot, have won the title fives times, but have been the runners-up on some 20 occassions.
