The winners of that clash will face one of Tipperary, Waterford or Clare in the Munster final.
The previous week to that, the footballers will open their Munster championship campaign as they welcome Waterford to the LIT Gaelic Grounds on Saturday June 26 at 3pm.
Limerick were comfortable 2-14 to 0-9 winners when they met Waterford in the 2020 Munster quarter-final. The Shannonsiders haven’t reached a provincial final since 2010.
