What Limerick All-Ireland? Football, hurling? I presume this is Donegal's All-Ireland in 1992.

Both counties first All-Ireland football win in Croke Park (Jones' Road) was against the Dubs.

Limerick won their first against Louth but that was in Clonskeagh. Their first in Croker was against the Dubs. The only other teams to beat the Dubs in a Final were Kerry, Galway, Tipp and Down but they had each won All-Irelands in Croker before those wins.

Very convoluted I know, but it is the best I can come up with.

Does the question refer to Limerick's All-Ireland win in 1896 and Donegal's All-Ireland win in 1992?  ???

It'll be hard for Tyrone to get the answer when can't even post the question.  :D

Not sure if you are taking the proverbial but Mayo have lost a few in recent times.

Incidentally Kerry are the only hurling team (1891 I think) to do likewise as far as I'm aware.
