Limerick begin their hunt for a 7th Munster Championship in a row when they visit Semple Stadium to take on Liam Cahill’s Tipperary team on April 20th at 16:00 GMT. Regarding what TV channel Tipperary v Limerick will be on, RTE will show live coverage of the game as part of their coverage of Championship 2025. John Kiely’s men have dominated Munster for many years but were stopped from winning an historic 5th All-Ireland Championship in a row by Cork in 2024.
Tipperary for their part have had an impressive League campaign. The Premier County won 5 of their matches in Division 1A and have qualified for the League Final against Cork, which takes place on April 6th. In this preview to their opening round match in the Munster Championship, we will look ahead to the big game, providing you with the latest odds, as well as giving you our own prediction.
🏆 Tipperary v Limerick Prediction - Round 1
This opening round clash between these two Munster giants will certainly be a match that both counties will fancy winning to kick off their respective title bids in 2025. Tipperary will hope that their form in the 2025 League can be built on this year into Championship, unlike last year when they qualified for the League Semi-Finals before enduring a disastrous 2024 Munster Championship, winning none of their 4 games. Limerick on the other hand will set out to preserve their control over the Munster Championship in 2025, beginning with a win over Tipperary in Thurles. John Kiely’s men won 2 of their 6 League games in 2025, including a win over Tipperary in Limerick on February 9th.
Limerick have also been unbeaten against Tipperary in the Championship since 2019, a run that now stretches to 6 matches. Even with the encouraging form that Liam Cahill’s Tipperary have shown during the League, form that could see them crowned League champions on April 6th, it’s hard to look past Limerick on April 20th. The six times defending Munster champions are very hard to bet against when it comes to the Munster Championship, with their ability to raise their level in the heat of Championship a major reason why we are predicting a Limerick win in Thurles.

✔️ Tipperary v Limerick Betting Tips
The next thing we are going to look at in our round 1 prediction is a selection of Tipperary v Limerick betting tips that may prove useful for those with free bet offers.
- Tip 1: Limerick to win:
Given the strength in performance from Limerick in the Munster Championship over recent seasons, it is hard to look past them against Tipperary. The sense that they will want to put down a marker to the other sides challenging not only for Munster honours but the All-Ireland also is another reason why it is hard to bet against Limerick opening their 2025 Munster Senior Championship campaign with a win in Thurles.
- Tip 2: Aaron Gillane to score a goal anytime:
Gillane has proven himself to be one of the most feared forwards in hurling over recent years and it’ s difficult to see that influence waning greatly in 2025. He hit 1-8 when the sides met in last year’s Munster Championship and should be instrumental in any Limerick win over Tipperary this year.
- Tip 3: Limerick HT/FT:
Given the form that Tipperary have been in recently during the League, a case can be made that Liam Cahill’s men could take the win when the two sides meet on April 20th. Limerick are usually a different animal when it comes to the heat of Munster Championship hurling though, so why not look at the Limerick HT/FT market when the latest Tipperary v Limerick odds are released.
📈 Tipperary Squad Form
Tipperary finished top of Division 1A of the 2025 Allianz Hurling League, thus qualifying for the League Final against Cork on April 6th. They will want to keep up that momentum they have built with their League performances into that Final ahead of the beginning of the Munster Championship on April 20th.
⚽ Limerick Squad Form
Limerick had much more of a mixed League than their Tipperary rivals in 2025. They won just 2 of their 6 games, drawing another against Cork. Whether that run has put them in good stead for the start of the 2025 Championship remains to be seen for John Kiely’s men. The recent history of the county in the Munster Championship, however, suggests that it is hard to imagine that they won’t be close to their best as they bid for a 7th Munster title in a row.
