The two sides also met in the final three years ago.
Birr manager Barry Whelehan says that the Offaly county senior final between his side and St Rynagh's should be a great clash of two old rivals.
Birr haven't won the title since 2008 and St Rynagh's will be hoping to repeat their 2016 final win against Birr when they won by four points.
Barry Whelehan has been speaking to Joe Troy:
