Johnny Murphy will referee Cork v Dublin semi-final
Wexford's James Owens has been given the duty of the Kilkenny-Tipperary semi-final on Sunday week.
Murphy was the man in the middle for Cork's comprehensive win over Tipperary in April as well as their final provincial round victory over Waterford last month. He also officiated Dublin's Leinster SHC meeting with Offaly.
Owens, who deputised for injured Thomas Walsh in the extra-time of the Munster final earlier this month, sent off Richie Hogan in the 2019 All-Ireland final when Tipperary prevailed against Kilkenny.
Early indications would appear Galway's Liam Gordon is in the frame for the All-Ireland final appointment on July 20 and Waterford man Walsh's last game in charge in this championship was the Munster final.
The Munster final has been an unfortunate assignment for referees in recent years with a number of them not being requested to take charge of latter championship fixtures.

Sharlene Mawdsley steps out with All-Ireland winning partner at Tipp homecoming
Tipperary celebrated their All-Ireland win in style at Semple Stadium this evening as over 40,000 supporters turned up to cheer on their heroes at the homecoming. It was a very busy day for the men in blue in gold, a day which started with a visit to Crumlin Hospital as Liam MacCarthy was introduced to some brave little Tipp fans. The team then made the journey back home in the evening and rocked up to Semple Stadium at around 8.15pm following an evening of entertainment which included a performance from Una Healy. On stage, the team soaked in the adulation from the fans as they celebrated their win with friends and family. Adding star power to the occasion was Sharlene Mawdsley. The Tipperary native and Olympian appeared on stage with her partner, Tipp defender Mikey Breen, and the pair were captured in a lovely photograph showing the two of them holding the Liam MacCarthy Cup. For Sharlene, Sunday's win would have been a poignant one as her father passed away suddenly at the beginning of June. Mawdsley and Breen have formed something of a sporting power couple in recent times, with the sprinter going 'Instagram official' with the Tipp defender at the beginning of the Summer. Yesterday, Mawdsley took to Instagram in the wake of Tipp's win, sharing a photo of herself with Breen on the Croke Park pitch along with the caption "Proud of you every day, but that little bit prouder today."

Tipperary's All-Ireland heroes bring Liam MacCarthy Cup to Crumlin hospital
Tipperary's All-Ireland winning stars took the Liam MacCarthy Cup to Crumlin hospital today. The men in blue and gold were awesome in the second-half on Sunday, blowing Cork away to win their first All-Ireland title since 2019. Today, Tipp took the title to Crumlin hospital to celebrate their win with some brave little supporters. And the party continued this evening as Semple Stadium hosted a fabulous homecoming, with a reported 45,000 supporters turning out to welcome their stars home. One man who should have been a part of the celebrations is the late great Dillon Quirke, who passed away in 2022 during a club game. Speaking about Dillon, Tipp manager Liam Cahill said: 'Like today, I got a text from Dan, his dad, coming up the road to wish me luck. And I just said that Dillon will be on all our shoulders today, regardless of what happens in the result. 'And, you know, he should be with us today. But the legacy he's leaving and the work that he's doing to save lives across Ireland at the moment through his name and the foundation is just incredible. 'And today I never flinched at any stage on the line. Once he was across my chest, I knew that we would be battling right to the end. And I'm just so proud to have had an input into his life for the short number of years he was with us.'
