Despite a bright start to the game, Dublin were dealt a huge blow when Chris Crummey was sent off for an elbow strike on Limerick forward Gearoid Hegarty, with Limerick leading by two points at the time.
However, they responded well and took a deserved 0-15 to 0-12 lead into the interval.
Wides early in the second half cost Dublin, as Limerick were able to draw level in the 50th minute at 0-18 each.
Adam English put Limerick ahead after four unanswered points, as they looked to take control of the game.
However, Dublin were not finished, as two quick fire goals John Hetherton and Cian O'Sullivan turned the game around completley.
Dublin lead by three points with 10 minutes to go, as the atmosphere and hope grew they were going to casue the shock of the summer.
While Limerick were able to get it back to one point, points from John Bellew and Currie made the fans believe the win was on the cards.
After some heroic defending in the final moments, Dublin sealed the win in a historic day for Dublin hurling.

Providing X-factor on the bench are back-rower Henry Pollock and versatile playmaker Marcus Smith in an opportunity for both England stars to prove they are ready to take on the Wallabies on July 19.

The all-Ireland combination of Bundee Aki and Garry Ringrose have been chosen in the centres and Blair Kinghorn makes his first start at full-back having joined the squad late because of his Top 14 duties with Toulouse.
