Sunday sees the crowning of this season's All-Ireland Hurling Championship winners, with Cork and Clare squaring off at Croke Park as they bid to end their respective 19 and 11-year waits to land the sport's biggest prize.
Although another Munster county will once again be the winner, there will be a fresh name etched on the trophy after Limerick's bid for an unprecedented fifth successive title was ended by Cork in the semi-finals.
Clare have had the upper hand in recent meetings between Sunday's finalists, having won the last three games and four of the last five, but historically it is Cork who have been the stronger of the two with 39 wins to 17 and five draws.

All-Ireland Hurling Championship Final history
Sunday''s All-Ireland Hurling Championship Final is a repeat of the 2013 showpiece in which Clare came out on top to claim their fourth title in what was the last time they reached the final.
Cork have made it to the final since, but once again ended up on the losing side to the recently dominant Limerick side in 2021, although they exacted their revenge in this season's semi-finals.
Cork have lost the last three finals they have reached since last winning the title in 2005 when going back-to-back, claiming their 30th overall success when beating Galway.
Although 30 Championships is an impressive tally, it is not the best record in All-Ireland Hurling Championship Finals.
Leinster's Kilkenny boast that honour with 36 to their name, last winning it in 2015, although they have been beaten in four finals since, including the last two in 2022 and 2023.
