The Rebels face Galway next Saturday in their quarter-final, while Wexford will take on Clare. The GAA first seek to avoid provincial final repeats in semi-finals and then provincial game repeats in semi-finals, so there will be no need for a final four draw after next weekend.
Here are the scenarios:
Limerick, Kilkenny, Clare and Galway = Limerick v Galway and Kilkenny v Clare.
Limerick, Kilkenny, Clare and Cork = Limerick v Cork and Kilkenny v Clare.
Limerick, Kilkenny, Wexford and Galway = Limerick v Galway and Kilkenny v Wexford.
Limerick, Kilkenny, Wexford and Cork = Limerick v Wexford and Kilkenny v Cork.
The quarter-finals are set for Saturday 18 June with the semi-finals to take place on 2-3 July.
