What time and TV channel is Cork v Limerick on today in the All-Ireland hurling final?

Limerick and Cork take to Croke Park today for an eagerly anticipated All-Ireland hurling final clash.

The Treaty County head into the decider looking to achieve back-to-back All-Ireland titles for the first time in their history, while Cork are making their first final appearance since 2013 when they were beaten by Davy Fitzgerald's Clare.

Limerick are the hot favourites for this one, with John Kiely's men claiming two of the last three All-Ireland titles on offer. Should they prevail on Sunday, it will make for the most significant period of dominance in the game since Kilkenny notched their fourth title in five years back in 2015.

Cork are an exciting young side with it all ahead of them, but they will not be turning up just to witness Limerick's coronation and their tireless display in the semi final win over Kilkenny showed what the Rebels are about; energy, endeavour and exciting hurling.

Cork's Shane Kingston - son of manager Kieran - came off the bench to electrify the Rebels against Kilkenny, with his seven points from play pushing Cork over the line and earning him a starting place for the decider.

Here is all you need to know ahead of the final:

Quotes Corner

Limerick boss John Kiely:

"We knew from the first round that Cork were a fantastic side. The game was very tight throughout and only in the last few minutes did it stretch out. The scoreline wasn't really reflective of the measure between the two teams on the day.

"They've obviously improved incrementally since then. We'd like to think we have as well. We know we played well in the Munster-final and the All-Ireland semi-final and we know we're going to have to play better again in the All-Ireland final.

"We will be very, very focused on our performance. We want to be the best team Limerick can bring to the field on Sunday. We have to produce our performance. The focus is on us because if we don't get our performance right, the rest doesn't matter."
