Tipperary TDs Mattie McGrath and Michael Murphy posed for a picture on Sunday afternoon ahead of the All-Ireland final as fans descended on the stadium, eager for the game to begin. 

The 2025 GAA All-Ireland hurling championship is set to come to a thrilling conclusion today as old foes Cork and Tipperary collide in a historic decider at Croke Park.

Remarkably, it's the first time these Munster powerhouses have met in an All-Ireland senior final, despite decades of fiery encounters elsewhere.

Cork are chasing their first Liam MacCarthy triumph in 20 years, while Tipperary are looking to reclaim the title they last lifted in 2019.

The sides have already met three times this year, with Cork holding a 2-1 edge, including a 15-point Munster win and a dominant League final performance. Tipperary, however, won the early-season League clash, and come into this game with momentum after a high-scoring run through the knockout stages.

Throw-in is scheduled for 3.30pm, with Galway's Liam Gordon appointed as referee for the big game.
