The Cork-Dublin rivalry is a hurling rivalry between Irish inter-county teams Cork and Dublin, who first played each other in 1895. The fixture has been an irregular one due to both teams playing in separate provinces. Cork's home ground is Páirc Uí Chaoimh and Dublin's home ground is Parnell Park, however, most of their championship meetings have been held at neutral venues, usually Croke Park.

While Cork are regarded as one of the "big three" of hurling, with Kilkenny and Tipperary completing the trio, Dublin are ranked joint fifth in the all-time roll of honour and have enjoyed sporadic periods of dominance at various stages throughout the history of the championship. The two teams have won a combined total of 36 All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship titles.

As of 2014 Cork and Dublin have met fourteen times in the hurling championship including meeting eight times at the All Ireland final stage where Cork hold the upper hand with six victories to Dublin's two triumphs.

Roots

History

Meetings between Cork and Dublin have been rare throughout the history of the championship, however, there have been some periods of dominance with more frequent clashes. Between 1919 and 1928 Cork and Dublin dominated the championship. The teams clashed in four All-Ireland finals, with both sides recording two victories each. Again, between 1941 and 1944 Cork and Dublin met in three All-Ireland finals in four years. Cork dominated the championship during this era, winning a record-setting four All-Ireland titles in succession.
