Up for the Match reveals Saturday night guests
Fans have been promised fun, passion, "and a bit of Riverdance" as hosts Des Cahill and Jacqui Hurley count down to the game on RTÉ One and RTÉ Player on Saturday at 9:35pm.
"Viewers are in for a real treat as the world-famous Riverdance takes to the stage to open the show with a spectacular performance sure to get feet tapping across the country," said the Up for the Match team.
"Live from Loughmore-Castleiney in Tipperary, Marty Morrissey meets the family, friends, and clubmates of the iconic McGrath brothers as they prepare for Sunday's showdown.
Meanwhile, back in Cork, Anna Geary catches up with passionate supporters from Blarney GAA - the home club of stars Mark Coleman, Shane Barrett, and Pádraig Power.
"In studio, a stellar line-up of hurling greats including Seánie McGrath, Lar Corbett, and Brian Corcoran share their insights and memories ahead of what promises to be a historic final.
"It wouldn't be Up for the Match without some familiar faces - 2FM's Carl Mullan, Roz Purcell, and Aisling Bonner, Kerry's own Billy Keane, and Paralympian Ellen Keane join Olympian Nadia Power to share their favourite All-Ireland memories.
"There will be musical performances as well from Irish trad band Ceol and surprise musical moments representing both Cork and Tipp.
Co-presenter Des Cahill said: "I've been presenting Up for the Match for over 20 years now, and it never gets old. It's something I look forward to every single time. The buzz, the craic, the last-minute nerves - it's become a bit of a cultural phenomenon. For GAA fans, it's the only place to be. It's like Christmas Eve mass, the night before the big event... but with more banter and a lot more jerseys!"
Co-presenter Jacqui Hurley said: "I've been counting down the days to Up for the Match. It always feels extra special when your own county is involved, and there's a lot of emotion tied into Cork's story this year. A first-ever All-Ireland final between Cork and Tipp? That's something really special - and I've no doubt both sets of fans will bring the craic on Saturday night."
Up for the Match airs Saturday 19 July at 9:35pm on RTÉ One and RTÉ Player.

John McGrath on taking chance: 'You just get some breaks and you kick on a bit from there'
John McGrath has admitted Liam Cahill and his management team took a punt on starting him in the opening game of the championship. The three-time All-Ireland winner is in line for a second All-Star after scoring 7-16, including 2-2 in Sunday's final, and was ever present for all eight of the county's SHC games. However, he started just one National League game and came off the bench three times. He didn't appear in the last couple of Division 1 outings and at that stage his excellent championship campaign couldn't have been envisaged. 'I played very little in the National League this year,' said McGrath. 'I came on a couple of times and started one game maybe. They took a chance with me in some ways in the first round of championship. 'Since then, I probably didn't look back. You just get some breaks maybe on that day and you kick on a bit from there. It's small margins at this level. Very small margins, I suppose.' The best club player in the county for several years, McGrath's performances for Loughmore-Castleiney have been outstanding but bringing it to inter-county level following his ankle issues required patience from player and management. 'I couldn't put the last few years all down to bad injury, I suppose. The form wasn't great for a while before that as well. But no, I think maybe even just the break that time, the break from playing, just got the body to recover a bit again. 'And it took a while, maybe after, to really get going. But no, some year, just thrilled to be back stuck in the middle of it. It's unreal to be just toughing it out there with lads and testing yourself. And that's what everyone wants to do.' Not that he would have spoken about it too loudly but McGrath, who turns 31 next week, was fuelled by the idea of proving people wrong. 'There has to be some part of it probably that hurts you a little bit maybe. Or that you find frustrating or hard when you're used to playing and competing and being relatively successful. 'And then to maybe not being in the team at times like it is, it's tough. Any good sportsman that you have a bit about yourself, you do. You want to prove people wrong. You want to get back and show people what you're able to do.'

Shane Enright: Kerry will need to be cautious pressing Donegal and Shaun Patton's kick-outs
The Donegal keeper's restarts are tailormade to bypass a press and cause chaos in the opposition defensive structure Shane Enright Kerryman You don't tend to get too many claps on the back in the Kingdom for simply making an All-Ireland final. This is a county, and we are a people, that expects. And, yet, considering this season to date the point strikes me how just impressive Kerry's march to the final has been. Think about it, they've done so with relative ease, despite an extensive injury list for key knock-out championship games. That's no small potatoes.

Máire Treasa Ní Cheallaigh: Sorry, Cork fans – but if you are a true supporter, you stay to the bitter end
This is not a dig at Rebel County supporters, but the sight of many of them leaving early in the All-Ireland hurling final brought to mind one of sport's great unwritten laws Legend has it that when Teddy Sheringham scored an injury-time equaliser against Bayern Munich in the 1999 Champions League final in Barcelona, the late George Best had already left the Nou Camp, and therefore also missed the winner scored by Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, that brought the historic treble to Manchester United. I wasn't lucky enough to be at that game, but I do remember seeing it on TV, watching the rivers of red jerseys snaking their way out the stadium when it looked like Alex Ferguson's men just weren't up to the task. This was shortly followed by scenes of horrified joy when those fans realised what they had missed by leaving early.
