New Tipperary manager Liam Cahill will face his former Waterford team in the opening game of the 2023 Co-Op Superstores Munster Hurling League.
Cahill will take his Tipp charges to Fraher Field on Tuesday, January 3 for a clash with the Deise, who are now managed by Davy Fitzgerald. Clare are the other team in Group 1.
Meanwhile, new Cork manager Pat Ryan will make his competitive debut away to Kerry on Thursday, January 5 before hosting All-Ireland champions Limerick on Thursday, January 11 in what will be the Shannonsiders' first game since their All-Ireland success last July.
The final of the pre-season competition is scheduled for Sunday January 22 and all games will be shown live, either via Munster GAA TV or TG4.
Speaking at yesterday's launch, Munster GAA Chairman Ger Ryan said: “The Munster Council is pleased to facilitate this pre-season competition for our counties as it provides participating teams with a great opportunity to prepare for the very competitive Allianz League starting in early February.
"Great work is being done by Coaching and Games Development in all Munster counties and this competition gives counties the opportunity to introduce exciting young talent in to their team set-up and give them a flavour of the standards required at the top level. I am delighted that all six Munster counties are taking part in 2023 as the inter-county season returns in earnest in early January.
"Thanks to Co-Op Superstores for their continued support as competition sponsor and we look forward to working with them in the weeks ahead.”
