All the games are scheduled for Sunday 18th November in Fenway Park.

The two semi-finals are Clare v Cork and Limerick v Wexford.
Super 11’s is an 11-aside format of hurling. The Fenway Hurling Classic 2018 is a joint initiative by the GAA and GPA to make it easier for the game to travel to pastures new and provide a forum for experimentation and development. It was developed specifically by the GPA in conjunction with the GAA to allow hurling to be played in stadiums all over the world where the pitch size is smaller than a traditional hurling pitch. This year’s event will mark the third time in four years that Super 11s has been played in the iconic Fenway Park, home to the Boston Red Sox.
