Munster Senior Hurling Championship Limerick –V- Tipperary @ 4pm

The following is the Garda Traffic Management Plan to cater for the Munster Senior Hurling Championship game between Limerick and Tipperary at T.U.S. Gaelic Grounds on Sunday, 24th. May 2026 at 4pm.

A crowd of 25,000 is expected to attend the games, which will cause traffic disruption in Limerick City and approach roads to the city. To maximise everyone’s enjoyment of the day Garda advice to patrons is to arrive in plenty of time, to park cars legally, i.e. not causing obstruction, not parking on green areas or at locations where parking is prohibited. Cars illegally parked will be ticketed and those causing obstruction may be towed away.

Patrons are advised to strongly consider parking in the nearby city centre car parks and walk out to the stadium as this will save them considerable time in their journeys home after the game.
