The 2013 Munster Senior Hurling Championship Final was the 122nd final of the Munster Senior Hurling Championship, one of the most prestigious provincial hurling championships. The match, contested by Limerick and Cork, took place on 14 July 2013 at the Gaelic Grounds in Limerick, and started at 4:00 p.m. It was Limerick's 45th Munster final and Cork's 80th. In Ireland, the match was televised live on the Sunday Game on RTÉ Two with commentary from Ger Canning and Michael Duignan.
The championship winners were awarded a place in the semi-finals of the 2013 All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship, while the loser went through to the quarter-finals.
Limerick beat fourteen-man Cork by 0-24 to 0-15 to secure the Munster crown for the first time since 1996. The Munster final failed to produce a goal for the first time since 1978. Cork's Patrick Horgan was sent-off in first half injury time for striking Limerick wing-back Paudie O'Brien on the helmet under a high ball. Limerick took advantage and went on to compile a comfortable victory. The final whistle was greeted by scenes of remarkable euphoria at the Limerick city venue as a seventeen-year wait for Munster glory finally came to an end. The Munster Cup was lifted by captain Donal O'Grady.
