The draws for Munster's 2015 McGrath and Waterford Crystal Cups were made this evening.
The McGrath Cup sees five counties and five third level colleges entered. Current holders Cork will have home advantage against Mary I in the preliminary round while All-Ireland champions Kerry and IT Tralee face each other in the quarter-finals.
Limerick, Tipperary and Waterford return after boycotting last season's competition following the Munster Council's decision to revert to an open draw for the Munster SFC. However, Clare remain absent.
In the Waterford Crystal Cup, six counties and five third level colleges are set to take part. Tipperary, who won the competition this season, will play Mary I. The winners meet Clare in the quarter-finals.
