Quick Facts Dates, Teams ...

Clare were the defending champions, however, they failed to make it out of the group stage.[1]

On 11 January 2020, Limerick won the Munster League after a 1-32 to 0-20 defeat of Cork in the final at the LIT Gaelic Grounds.[2] This was their second league title overall and their first title since 2018.[3]

Competition format

The six teams are drawn into two groups of three teams. Each team plays the other teams in their group once, earning 2 points for a win and 1 for a draw. The two group winners advance to the final. If the final is a draw, a penalty shoot-out is used to decide the winner; there is no extra time played.[4]
