1999

Hurling

National Hurling League

The National League would be Limerick’s worst of the decade as they managed to pick up only two wins, with those coming against Antrim and Kerry leaving them sixth in the table of seven.

Munster Hurling Championship

In the Munster quarter-final, Limerick were paired with 1998 All-Ireland semi-finalists Waterford in Pairc Ui Chaoimh.

On the day, Paul Flynn would prove to be the difference as his tally of 1-8 helped Waterford to a 1-16 to 1-15 victory, ending Limerick’s campaign without a win for the second consecutive year.

National Football League

Limerick were pitted in Group A of Division 2 for the 1998/1999 League campaign.

From their eight games, Limerick picked up a meagre brace of victories as they finished second from bottom.

Munster Football Championship

Limerick received a bye into the Munster semi-finals where they faced Cork in Pairc Ui Rinn.

The eventual Munster champions would prove far too strong for the Treaty side and ran away with a 4-13 to 1-6 win.
