The Cork-Limerick rivalry is a hurling rivalry between Irish inter-county teams Cork and Limerick, who first played each other in 1893. Since the turn of the century it has come to be regarded as one of the biggest rivalries in Gaelic games.[1] Cork's home ground is Páirc Uí Chaoimh and Limerick's home ground is the Gaelic Grounds, with each fixture alternating between the two venues.

While Cork are the standard bearers in Munster, Limerick have enjoyed success at sporadic intervals. At All-Ireland level Cork are second on the all-time roll of honour with thirty titles, while Limerick rank in fourth position with seven All-Ireland titles.
