The Thomond Feis /ˈθoʊmənd fɛʃ/ was an annual hurling competition organised by the Munster Council of the Gaelic Athletic Association between 1913 and 1956 for four of the inter-county teams in the province of Munster in Ireland.
The tournament was effectively a pre-season warm-up for Munster's top hurling teams and was played as a straight knock-out.
The Thomond Feis was a pre-championship hurling competition, with large crowds attending games.
[citation needed] Taken seriously by players, it offered a good indicator of a team's upcoming championship form.
[citation needed] Over time, however, it fell out of favour and was eventually scrapped.
