The 1996 Munster Senior Hurling Championship Finals were two hurling matches played in July 1996. The first game was played at the Gaelic Grounds in Limerick and finished in a draw 0–19 to 1–16 after Tipperary at one stage had a ten-point lead. The replay was played a week later on 14 July at Páirc Uí Chaoimh, Cork, County Cork, and saw Limerick claim their second first Munster Championship of the decade, winning on a scoreline of 4-7 to 0-16. Overall, this was Limerick's eighteenth Munster Senior Hurling Championship title.
Tipperay had defeated Waterford in the quarter-final by 1-14 to 1-11 and Kerry in the semi-final by 4-19 to 2-11 to reach the final, while Limerick had defeated Cork by 3-18 to 1-8 in the quarter-final and All-Ireland Champions Clare by 1-13 to 0-15 in the semi-final to reach the final. Both matches were screened live by RTÉ as part of The Sunday Game programme.
