This web site includes a list of every player who was part of a Tipperary Championship team from Minor up to Senior level in Hurling and Football since 1886. http://www.tippgaaarchives.com/

The list of over 17,000 players was compiled over the past couple of years by PJ Maxwell, former Tipperary underage hurler and captain of the Tipperary team which won the 1980 Munster Under 21 Hurling Final. Thanks to the assistance of the clubs, over 90% of the players will include the correct first name also.

The web site includes the Divisional and County Championship Roll of Honour for all grades in Hurling and Football from Minor C grade all the way up to Senior since each competition began.

This list was compiled by former County PRO Ed Donnelly from numerous sources and again, thanks to the assistance of the clubs, the name of the winning captain is included for over 75% of all County Champions.

All of this information can be found on various publications which invariably get out of date with each passing year. With the assistance of former Tipperary All-Star hurler Mark O'Leary who set up the web site and supporting database, the use of modern technology will ensure that not only can the information be easily searched online, the web site can be updated in real-time and includes all teams and champions up to and including last weekend's Divisional finals at Minor, Junior and Intermediate level.

This project was sponsored by the committee set up to organise events for the 125th Anniversary of the GAA, led by Seamus J. King who will chaired the launch. Thanks to everyone involved, including the Tipperary GAA County Board for funding this project. Why not check out the Tipperary GAA web site and delve through the unique history of Tipperary Hurling and Football?

The editors would love to hear from all interested Gaels in relation to the information put together - please contact Ed Donnelly at ed.donnelly@gaa.ie with your feedback.


Mick Roche ... one of the bravest and most stylish of them all.

It's looking good; but does anyone know if there is any plan to add handball also? Especially given the great history of tipperary handball.

1968 according to the website,very good site,easy to look up players,Mick Roche was a colossus for tipp right through the sixties into the seventies,maybe you had too many sheep to herd during this period.All counties should have a similar site,well done to Tipp.

There is a PDF document produced by the former Limerick Nomad and myself which can be emailed. Basically it lists all Senior Championship teams back to the 1930s and also gives appearances scores etc. for the County for each player that wore the jersey since.

Ha I had given up the sheep by that stage and had just headed off for New York so there was a period there in the mid to late 60s and early 70s where I missed out on quite a bit of the GAA in Ireland.No internet in those days unfortunatly
