The team competes in the three major annual inter-county competitions; the All-Ireland Senior Football Championship, the Munster Senior Football Championship and the National Football League.
Limerick's home ground is Páirc na nGael, Limerick. The team's manager is Mark Fitzgerald.
Limerick was the first Munster county to win an All-Ireland Senior Football Championship (SFC). It has won two All-Ireland Senior Championships. The county last won the Munster Senior Championship and the All-Ireland Senior Championship in 1896. Limerick have never won the National League.
Limerick won the first All-Ireland Senior Football Championship (SFC) in 1887 and repeated this success in 1896, when it became the first non-Leinster team to beat the then all-conquering Dublin in a championship match.

Limerick plays in Division 4 of the National Football League.
