attacks while playing a football challenge match against Dublin. The colours now in use is a royal blue jersey with a gold band across the stomach. There have been a few minor adjustments to the sleeves and collar colour.
The Tipperary GAA crest originally used was the coat of arms of "Tipperary (South Riding) County Council". This crest was similar to the old Kilkenny, Carlow and Wexford crests which included a band of colours in the middle, surrounded by star-like designs. This was mostly used by county councils in the south-east of the country. This crest was used until the late 1990s when the GAA decided to change the crest. The present one depicts the Rock of Cashel
with two crossed hurleys and a football.
. Maurice Davin is also the only man to have served two terms as President while Seán Ryan represented Dublin from 1928 to 1932, though a native of Kilfeacle, Co. Tipperary. Mr. Ryan a solicitor based in the capital, was the Association's legal advisor over a long period and played a central role in the acquisition and vesting of many club and county grounds in the GAA.
. These teams have met 80 times in the championship, more than any other rivalry in hurling. They have also met them countless times in the National League and pre season challenge tournaments. A Tipp and Cork Munster final in Semple Stadium
is said by both sets of fans to be the 'real' or traditional Munster final and the games between them are nearly always close. The draw and replay games of 1987 and 1991 and the 1949–1954 rivalry encapsulates this rivalry and the 1991 replayed final in Thurles is one of the greatest Munster hurling finals. This is one of the few rivalries in provincial championship that is contested by two teams of similar honours and titles. Kilkenny and Wexford have major difference in titles and Dublin and Meath also have a gap between their respective winnings. Galway and Mayo is the only one the rivals this pairing in terms of title similarity.
Tipp also have a strong rivalry with Limerick in the Munster championship. Although Tipp have major advantage in titles and honours, the game can go either way. The Tipp – Clare rivalry came with Clares growth in power in the 90's and the Tipp-Waterford rivalry due to Waterford's resurgence in the 00's.
In the All-Ireland series, Kilkenny are Tipp's main rivals. This rivalry has lasted since Kilkenny's coming to power in the early 20th century. Tipp are the only team to have beaten Kilkenny in the All Ireland senior hurling championship (and also in All Ireland senior hurling finals) more times than losses.
