The 2018 Munster Senior Hurling Championship Final was played on 1 July 2018 at Semple Stadium, Thurles. The winner would advance to the semi-finals of the All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship, with the loser entering the All Ireland quarter-finals.

Clare and Cork contest the final for the second year in a row with Cork retaining the title.[1] [2][3] Séamus Harnedy was the Cork captain and also was named as the man of the match.[4][5]

## Build-up[edit]

Tickets for the final went on sale on 21 June and ranged in price from €35 to €40 in the stand and €25 to €30 in the terrace.[6]

The match was shown live on RTÉ One as part of The Sunday Game Live with commentary from Marty Morrissey and Brendan Cummins.[citation needed]
