The Bank of Ireland Munster Senior Challenge Cup sees Young Munster and Cork Constitution meet at Irish Independent Park on Friday, kick-off 7.45pm.
The festive clash between the two sides will mark the 129th Munster Senior Challenge Cup final.
Cork Constitution will be aiming to win the trophy for the 30th time, while Young Munster are seeking their eighth title and their first since they defeated UCC in 2010.
Friday’s final is also a repeat of the 2017 decider which the Temple Hill side won on a 14-0 score line to complete five-in-a-row.
Last year’s finalists, Garryowen, lead the overall honours list having won the competition 39 times, followed by Cork Constitution who have lifted the trophy 29 times.
Shannon lead the way on the honours list with 19 titles after this season’s finalists, UCC are a close fourth with 18, while Young Munster have recorded seven final victories and Dolphin have six title wins.
UL Bohemians, Sunday’s Well and Highfield have all contributed to the top winners list over the years, as have Bandon and Bruff with their respective title wins in 1886 and 2011.
