Kildare GAA fans are set for a huge day out in Croke Park this Sunday as the hurlers chase Joe McDonagh Cup honours in one of nine matches broadcast or streamed live this weekend.

The county’s hurlers have the chance to make history when they head to GAA HQ to take on neighbours Laois in the Joe McDonagh Cup final. Sunday’s showdown will act as the curtain-raiser to the Leinster final and will be broadcast live on RTÉ from 1.45pm.

Saturday's action throws in with two Tailteann Cup preliminary quarter-finals, as Offaly host New York at 2pm in Glenisk O’Connor Park, followed by a Leinster derby between Westmeath and Laois at TEG Cusack Park from 5pm. Both games will stream live on GAA+.

All eyes then turn to the Munster SHC final, as champions Limerick take on rivals Cork in a highly anticipated showdown at the TUS Gaelic Grounds from 6pm, live on RTÉ.

Elsewhere, the TG4 cameras will cover a triple-header in the Ladies All-Ireland senior football championship. Galway face Tipperary in Tuam Stadium at 2pm (TG4 YouTube), Kerry meet Mayo in Austin Stack Park at 2pm (TG4 YouTube), and Meath take on Armagh in Páirc Tailteann at 3pm (TG4).

On Sunday, Waterford and Dublin clash in Dungarvan at 1.30pm in another Ladies SFC tie live on TG4 before attention turns to a live hurling double-header at Croke Park.

The Joe McDonagh Cup final throws in at 1.45pm as Kildare face Laois, while the Leinster SHC final between Kilkenny and Galway takes centre stage at 4pm, with both matches set to be broadcast live on RTÉ.
