A similar live screening at Pery Square in 2023 had live images from Limerick beamed directly into Croke Park, showing the players the massive wave of support back home.
Excitement is building across Limerick as the Treaty County prepares to return to the All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship Final this Sunday, July 19th, marking their first final appearance since securing the historic four-in-a-row glory in 2023.
To mark the occasion, Limerick GAA and Limerick City and County Council have teamed up to host a free, family-friendly Big Screen watch party at Pery Square.
The event will bring thousands of Limerick supporters together in the heart of the city’s Georgian Quarter to cheer on Limerick’s hurling heroes as they take on Galway.
While thousands of fans are expected to make the journey to Croke Park, the Pery Square event offers a vibrant alternative for those staying at home.
Mayor of Limerick, John Moran, said the county’s appearance in another All-Ireland Final presents a fantastic opportunity to showcase Limerick pride. “There is a great sense of anticipation building right across Limerick as we prepare to support our hurlers on the biggest stage of all.” Moran said, “For those who can’t make it to Dublin, Pery Square will offer a fantastic family-friendly alternative, with thousands of supporters coming together to cheer on Limerick. It promises to be a great celebration of sport in the heart of Limerick.”
Príomh Chomhairleoir, Cllr Tom Ruddle said, “Sport has a unique ability to unite people, and these events will give supporters, families and visitors the opportunity to come together and share in what promises to be a memorable day.”
Director General of Limerick City and County Council, Dr Pat Daly, said, “The Big Screen event will create a positive buzz throughout the city centre and provide an opportunity for residents and visitors alike to enjoy a safe and family-friendly celebration.”
The event will feature a lineup of entertainment starting from the afternoon, including music from Martin Cosgrave, special guests, DJs, face painters, and family-friendly activities.
A similar live screening at Pery Square in 2023 attracted thousands of passionate supporters. During that game, live images from Limerick were beamed directly into Croke Park, showing the players the massive wave of support back home.
Organisers are hoping for an even bigger turnout this Sunday to recreate that electric energy.
While the event is completely free to attend, access is strictly by e-ticket only to manage capacity. Gates at Pery Square will open at 2:00 PM this Sunday, ahead of the throw-in.
The All-Ireland Final big-screen party kicks off at 2 pm. Fans are urged to secure their tickets early. Register for an eTicket on Eventbrite.ie
