The Treaty County are celebrating the county's third All-Ireland hurling title in succession after a thrilling 1-31 to 2-26 victory over Kilkenny at Croke Park.

It is the first time Limerick have achieved the remarkable feat and marks their 11th time lifting the Liam MacCarthy Cup.

Gates are scheduled to open at 5pm at the Gaelic Grounds for the homecoming, with the victorious team expected to be on stage by 7pm.

Limerick County council said: "After the Covid-constrained homecomings of the last two year’s titles, tomorrow’s victory salute will be an opportunity for the people of Limerick to unleash three years of unbridled All-Ireland joy into one magical event.

"A night of unforgettable festivities is planned, rivalling the scenes that greeted the 2018 champions when they returned after claiming their first Liam McCarthy Cup in 45 years, with some of Limerick and Ireland’s finest contemporary musical artists joining the celebrations.

"Limerick City and County Council, in association with Limerick GAA, are inviting supporters to join the family-friendly party at the homecoming at the TUS Gaelic Grounds."
