The throw-in was delayed by 30 minutes due to a power cut at the stadium.[1] Limerick, captained by Declan Hannon, retained the title for a record sixth year in a row after a 1-26 to 1-20 win.[2][3][4] No team in Munster had ever won six in a row before.

The two teams were meeting in the Munster final for the third year in a row with Limerick winning the final in 2022 by 1–29 to 0-29 after extra-time and also in 2023 by 1-23 to 1-22.[5] Limerick were bidding to win the Munster title for a sixth successive year and for the 25th time overall, with Clare looking for a first Munster title since 1998 and seventh title.
