Despite a bright start to the game, Dublin were dealt a huge blow when Chris Crummey was sent off for an elbow strike on Limerick forward Gearoid Hegarty, with Limerick leading by two points at the time.
However, they responded well and took a deserved 0-15 to 0-12 lead into the interval.
Wides early in the second half cost Dublin, as Limerick were able to draw level in the 50th minute at 0-18 each.
Adam English put Limerick ahead after four unanswered points, as they looked to take control of the game.
However, Dublin were not finished, as two quick fire goals John Hetherton and Cian O'Sullivan turned the game around completley.
Dublin lead by three points with 10 minutes to go, as the atmosphere and hope grew they were going to casue the shock of the summer.
While Limerick were able to get it back to one point, points from John Bellew and Currie made the fans believe the win was on the cards.
After some heroic defending in the final moments, Dublin sealed the win in a historic day for Dublin hurling.

Former champion jockey Tommy Murphy dies in hospital aged 88 as Aidan O'Brien mourns loss of ‘incredible man'
FORMER champion jockey Tommy Murphy has died in hospital aged 88 - as Aidan O'Brien mourned the loss of an 'incredible man'. The talented Flat rider - who also won at Cheltenham Festival - was assistant to the legendary Vincent O'Brien. 2 The dual Classic-winning rider, who took top honours in the jockey standings in 1978, passed away at a hospital in Cashel, Ireland, on Wednesday. Ballydoyle boss O'Brien, who took over from his predecessor but is no relation, retained Murphy's services at the famed yard. He said he was an invaluable asset at the beginning of his career and proved 'irreplaceable' over the years. O'Brien, regarded by many as the greatest Flat trainer ever, told the Racing Post: "Tommy was an unbelievable horseman, jockey and person. "He was an incredible help to us when we came to Ballydoyle in 1994. "He taught everybody here so much about so many different things. "Even when he retired, he came in all the time to give everyone advice and guidance. He was one of those irreplaceable men. "He was a great rider, too, just an incredible and special man. Andrew [Tommy's son and head lad at Ballydoyle] is in charge of the Giant's Causeway yard, where all our main horses are kept. "We'll miss Tommy terribly. "He lived here for a long time, until he went into hospital. "We had a lot of great memories going racing with Tommy. "We had unbelievable days with him and always had dinner on the way home after racing. "(My children) Joseph, Sarah, Ana and Donnacha were always with him from the time they were babies and grew up learning from him about horses and life." Murphy, who was born in Wexford, rode his first winner in 19654 and moved to England soon after. There, he became a jockey for a number of trainers, including four years with the Duke of Norfolk. He hit the big time in 1970 when he won the Galway Hurdle and backed it up again two years later. His two Classics came in 1977 when he won the Irish 2,000 Guineas on Lady Capulet and Irish St Leger with Transworld. Then in 1978 he won what is now the Supreme Novices' Hurdle at Cheltenham Festival aboard Noble Life. His final winner came in 1981 and soon after that he became permanent fixture at Ballydoyle. Photos showed him patrolling the Ballydoyle gallops, keeping a keen eye on the army of top thoroughbreds pounding the track. More to follow.

Donegal man and dog achieve first-ever perfect score at sheepdog trials
The International Sheep Dog Society (ISDS) has been in existence since 1906 but it recorded a special piece of history on a Roscommon farm at the weekend when the first-ever perfect score in a sheepdog trial was achieved in a competition. Donegal man Allistair Lyttle and his trusty dog Twm were competing at the 2025 Irish National Sheepdog Trials when they delivered the maximum score of 220. Advertisement Incredibly, it's a feat which has never been achieved before in either the single or double dogs categories in the 119-year history of the ISDS, the governing body for sheepdog trials in Ireland and Britain. Sheepdog trialling involves great precision by the handler and their dog. In order to score points, they have a mere 15 minutes to impress the judges as they navigate sheep through several gates and then into a pen. To achieve the perfect score of 220 seemed an impossibility until now. Reacting to the flawless performance adjudicated on by a panel of expert judges, Lyttle said: 'It's quite overwhelming. It's a score that could be matched but being the first to do it, it's a record that can't be repeated.' Lyttle, who started sheepdog trialling as a young boy, runs a sheep and cattle farm in Pettigo, Co Donegal. Advertisement Over the course of three days in Roscommon, 150 of Ireland's best sheep dogs and their handlers showcased their skills at the national trials on the lands of Barra O'Brien. The competitors were vying for places on the Irish national team that will compete at the International Sheepdog Trials in Wales in September.
