In 1991 for the first time in years the Munster Championship gets rid of its seeded draw system and moves to an open draw. Although Kerry and Cork had always won the Munster title since 1923. Only Tipperary in 1935 were the only time and only year that title went not to Kerry or Cork, The open draw would be expected to weaken Kerry & Cork, and improve Clare, Limerick, Tipperary & Waterford. Since 1947 the Cork vs Kerry was the most common Munster final until 1990 but less common from now on.
