Munster Derby

was played in Turners Cross in Cork for a Premier Division league match on Sunday 21 October 1984.

The clubs didn't meet in the league for a period, until Limerick won promotion to the Premier Division in 2012.

Derby games between Cork and Waterford significantly declined when Cork City started challenging the top of the table in the Premier Division and Waterford dropped to the bottom end of the First Division around 2014.

When Waterford played Cork in Turners Cross in the EA Sports Cup in 2016 they were beaten 7-0.
