How did they get here?
Limerick and Kilkenny qualified for the semi-finals by winning the Munster and Leinster championships respectively.
Limerick beat Clare by a point in the Munster decider while Kilkenny snatched a hugely dramatic victory over Galway in the Leinster final, scoring a last-gasp goal to win by a point.
As beaten provincial finalists, Clare and Galway progressed to the All-Ireland quarter-finals. Clare beat Dublin 5-26 to 2-17 while Galway defeated Tipperary 1-20 to 1-18.
Why should I be excited about the games?
Kilkenny booked their spot in the semi-finals with a last-gasp one-point victory over Galway in last month's Leinster final
Championship hurling rarely disappoints. This year, it has delivered drama and excitement in spades, and with four of the best teams in Ireland involved, this weekend is likely to be the same.
Saturday's match sees Limerick continue their bid for a fourth successive All-Ireland title - and a fifth in the last six years. The Treaty County are the competition's fourth-most successful team, having won the Liam MacCarthy Cup 11 times.
Limerick won the National Hurling League title earlier this year before beating Clare to seal a fifth Munster crown in a row.
Galway have won five All-Ireland titles, the last of which came in 2017 when they beat Waterford in the final.
In last year's semi-final, they ran Limerick close in an enthralling game. The sides were level on 10 occasions before Limerick eventually prevailed by three points, 0-27 to 1-21.
Limerick also got the better of Galway when the sides met in Division One in February, running out 0-24 to 0-19 winners in Salthill.
Sunday's match is another repeat of the 2022 semi-finals as Kilkenny and Clare lock horns once again.
Kilkenny are the most decorated team in inter-county hurling with 36 All-Ireland titles to their name. Clare have won four All-Irelands but the last of those came in 2013.
In last year's semi-final, Kilkenny produced a dominant performance to win 2-26 to 2-20 and set up an All-Ireland final against Limerick, who completed a hat-trick of titles with a 1-31 to 2-26 win.
When is the final?
The final will take place at Croke Park on Sunday, 23 July (time TBC).
The BBC will show the match on TV, iPlayer and online.
Last year's All-Ireland final between Limerick and Kilkenny attracted a crowd of over 80,000 and there is expected to be big numbers at Croke Park for this weekend's semi-finals
