Lidl National Football League champions Cork are set to clash with four-in-a-row All-Ireland champions Dublin next month.
The mouth-watering match between the two 2020 All-Ireland finalists will take place in round two of Division 1B in this year's NFL campaign, which is scheduled to begin in less than six weeks' time.
The Rebelettes will start the defence of the league crown they won in 2019 when they meet Munster rivals Tipperary on 23 May.
Fellow Munster outfit, Waterford, are the fourth team in Division 1B, with Donegal, Galway, Mayo and Westmeath set to do battle in Division 1A.
Three rounds of group fixtures will determine the four semi-finalists – with the top team from Division 1A meeting the second-placed team from Division 1B, and vice versa.
The same semi-final principle will apply across the divisions, while the bottom-placed teams in each group, with the exception of Divisions 4A and 4B, will take part in relegation play-offs.
Divisions 1, 2 and 3 will each see one county relegated, with the winners of the finals in Divisions 2, 3 and 4 earning promotion.
