The series of games begins in March, with the championship culminating with the final in August. The championship has always been played using a knock-out format.

The North Tipperary Championship was, until recent times, an integral part of the wider Tipperary Senior Hurling Championship. The winners and runners-up of the North Tipperary Championship joined their counterparts from the other three divisions to contest the county championship quarter-finals.

13 clubs currently participate in the North Tipperary Championship. The title has been won at least once by 16 teams. The all-time record-holders are Toomevara who have won a total of 33 titles.

Kilruane MacDonaghs are the current champions after defeating Kiladangan in the 2022 final.

The championship

Overview

edit

The North Tipperary Championship is a knockout tournament with pairings drawn at random — there are no seeds.

Each match is played as a single leg. If a match ends as a draw there is a period of extra time, followed by a second period of extra time should the teams remain deadlocked. If both sides are still level at the end of extra time a replay takes place and so on until a winner is found.

Format

edit

Round 1: 10 teams contest this round. The 5 winning teams advance to the quarter-finals. The 5 losing teams are eliminated from the championship.

Quarter-finals: 8 teams contest this round: the 5 winning teams from round 1 and 3 teams who received a bye. The 4 winning teams advance to the semi-finals. The 4 losing teams are eliminated from the championship.

Semi-finals: 4 teams contest this round. The 2 winning teams advance to the final. The 2 losing teams are eliminated from the championship.

Final: The final is contested by the two semi-final winners.
