Tipperary finished with a real flourish to secure a vital victory over Clare in Quility.
Trailing 1-6 to 0-5 with 11 minutes remaining, Tipperary enjoyed a productive finish to the game.
Orrin Jones' goal injected Tipperary's challenge with belief and momentum in the closing stages.
A pointed free from Jones levelled matters in the 53rd minute before Robbie McGrath and Joe Higgins contributed crucial scores.
Clare led 0-4 to 0-2 at half-time with Aaron Kelly netting a third quarter goal to steer the Banner five clear, but Tipperary recovered.
Waterford staged a dramatic comeback, but Limerick survived to secure the spoils.
First half goals from Senan O'Brien and Diarmuid Hynes put Limerick into a commanding position.
Waterford, though, replied with majors from Mikey O'Brien and Michael O'Sullivan, but Limerick still triumphed.
