Saturday March 22

Allianz Hurling League Division 1A

Cork v Galway, SuperValu Páirc Uí Chaoimh, 7.30pm

Limerick v Wexford, TUS Gaelic Grounds, 7.30pm

Tipperary v Clare, FBD Semple Stadium, 7.30pm

Who will join Tipperary in the Allianz Hurling League Division 1A Final?

That will be determined at SuperValu Páirc Uí Chaoimh on Saturday evening.

A draw will suffice for Cork on home turf, while Galway need to beat Pat Ryan's team to reach the decider.

Wexford and Clare have already been relegated to Division 1B for 2026.

Allianz Hurling League Division 1B

Waterford v Offaly, Walsh Park, 4pm

Carlow v Westmeath, Netwatch Cullen Park, 5pm

Laois v Dublin, Laois Hire O'Moore Park, 5pm

Offaly have already secured Division 1A hurling for next year.

A draw will secure Waterford's place in the top tier, but if they lose to Offaly, Dublin are beaten by Laois, and Carlow overcome Westmeath, Tom Mullaly's outfit would earn promotion also.

Dublin have an outside chance of reaching the Division 1B final also. Niall Ó Ceallacháin's team need to win well against Laois and hope that Waterford and Carlow finish on eight points with scoring difference then deciding who finishes second.

Westmeath and Laois have been relegated to Division Two.

Allianz Hurling League Division Two

Donegal v Derry, O'Donnell Park, 2.30pm

Meath v Kildare, Trim, 2.30pm

Tyrone v Kerry, Garvaghey, 2.30pm

Down have already earned promotion to Division 1B for next year.

So, Saturday's clash between Meath and Kildare in Trim matters deeply.

If Meath win, the Royals will finish second on the head to head rule. Kildare just need to avoid defeat.

Relegation wise Tyrone are gone, but Derry, Donegal, and Kerry, all could potential join them.

The winners of Donegal and Derry will be safe, while Kerry visit Tyrone for a crucial encounter too.

Allianz Hurling League Division Three

Armagh v London, BOX-IT Athletic Grounds, 2.30pm

Roscommon v Sligo, King & Moffatt Dr Hyde Park, 2.30pm

Wicklow v Mayo, Echelon Park, 1pm

London have earned promotion, but the matches this weekend all carry importance.

Armagh need a positive result on home turf against London to avoid the drop along with Sligo.

Roscommon are at home to Sligo and will be eager to secure two more points.

Wicklow's clash with Mayo in Aughrim is a vital match. The home county need to win to claim a top two finish, while Mayo will advance if they avoid defeat.

Allianz Hurling League Division Four

Longford v Monaghan, Glennon Brothers Pearse Park, 2pm

Lancashire v Fermanagh, GAA Centre of Excellence, 2pm

Leitrim v Warwickshire, Connacht GAA Centre of Excellence, 2pm

Louth have already advanced to the decider.

Fermanagh, who meet Lancashire in Abbottstown, will join them if they can post a win in the capital.

Leitrim face Warwickshire, and a win for the Connacht county, coupled with a Lancashire triumph would deny Fermanagh.

If Fermanagh and Leitrim finish on the same number of points, the Ulster county will reach the final due to the head to head rule.
