The 2022 Munster Hurling Cup, also called the Co-Op Superstores Munster Hurling Cup,[1] was an inter-county hurling competition in the province of Munster.[2] Five of the six county teams of Munster competed; Cork did not compete.[3] The competition was originally cancelled as part of fixture rescheduling, but was reinstated in November 2021. The draw took place on 8 December 2021, and the tournament took place in January 2022. It was renamed the "Munster Hurling Cup" as it was no longer a league system.[4][5]

Kerry achieved a shock victory over Tipperary in the quarter-final, the first time they had beaten them in senior hurling.[6] The Munster Hurling Cup was won by Limerick.[7]

Competition format

The competition is a straight knockout. Drawn games go to a penalty shoot-out without the playing of extra-time.
