Galway have been installed as the favourites for the 2019 All-Ireland senior hurling championship.

While, Limerick continue their celebrations following last Sunday's historic win over the Tribesmen, bookmakers Paddy Power have already drawn up their list of favourites for next year's title.

And they believe that Galway will bounce back to lift the Liam MacCarthy for the second time in three years with them being rated at 5/2.

Limerick are 9/2 to defend their title, but with their being five different winners in the last six years, winning back to back titles is becoming a rarity in modern hurling.

Semi-finalists Cork and Tipperary who had a poor year by their standards are both 5/1, while a Kilkenny team that claimed league glory this year are 6/1.

Clare, who went so close to beating Galway in the semi-final are a decent bet at 9/1, while Waterford (14/1), Wexford (20/1), Dublin (25/1)and Carlow (1,000/1) make up the rest of the list.

The prices for the 2019 All-Ireland SHC are: Galway 5/2, Limerick 9/2, Cork 5/1, Tipperary 5/1, Kilkenny 6/1, Clare 9/1, Waterford 14/1, Wexford 20/1, Dublin 25/1, Carlow 1000/1.
