Miscellaneous The Munster Championship game between Waterford and Limerick, scheduled for 22 March 2023, was postponed by three days due to an unplayable Fraher Field. Waterford's subsequent game against Clare was also postponed for a similar reason. Cork's Munster Championship victory put them one ahead of Tipperary and top of the all-time roll of honour with 22 titles. Offaly won the Leinster Championship for the first time since 2000. The All-Ireland final between Cork and Offaly was their first ever championship meeting.
