Hurling

History

Together with Kilkenny and Cork, Tipperary is one of hurling's so-called "Holy Trinity." They are the third most successful team, having won 25 All-Ireland titles as of 2009. They have also achieved the coveted distinction of twice winning three All-Ireland Finals in a row (1898, 1899, 1900) and (1949, 1950, 1951). The Tipperary team of the 1960s is considered one of the greatest of all time.
