Cork earned a place in the Guinness All-Ireland Hurling Final by defeating Wexford 3-17 to 2-7 in Saturday's semi-final replay at Croke Park.
The Rebel County were the better team throughout, spurred by a superb performance by full-back and man-of-the-match Diarmuid O'Sullivan.
Alan Browne, Timmy McCarthy and Joe Deane hit Cork's goals.
Goals from Mitch Jordan and Larry Murphy kept Wexford in touch in the opening half with Cork leading 2-8 to 2-3 at the interval.
However, Donal O'Grady's side dominated the second half to run out emphatic winners.
Cork will play the winners of Sunday's second semi-final between Kilkenny and Tipperary in next month's All-Ireland decider.
