The Tipperary County Board of the Gaelic Athletic Association (Irish: Cumann Luthchleas Gael Coiste Contae Tiobraid Árainn) or Tipperary GAA is one of the 32 county boards of the GAA in Ireland, and is responsible for Gaelic Games in County Tipperary. The county board is also responsible for the Tipperary inter-county football and hurling teams. Separate county boards are responsible for the camogie and ladies football teams. County Tipperary holds a particular place in the history of the Gaelic Athletic Association as the organisation was founded in Hayes' Hotel in Thurles on November 1, 1884.

[edit] History
Together with Cork and Kilkenny, Tipperary is one of hurling's so-called "superpowers." They are the third most successful team, having won 25 All-Ireland titles as of 2005. 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. However, they no longer have the tradition that they used to have and in the last 35 years they have only won three All-Ireland titles.
Premierview.ie a Tipperary Hurling website was established in 2000. It has a large discussion board with over three thousand members. Premierview contains an extensive roll of honour,Tipperary hurling writers,Statistic and Video clips.

[edit] Gaelic football
Recent performances suggest that Tipperary's footballers preserve some of the traditions of a time when they won four All-Ireland titles, completing the hurling-football "double" in 1895 and 1900. They were beaten by a dramatic last minute goal by Cavan in 1935 when it appeared they were back in the All-Ireland final. And although they never won another Munster Championship, Browne's superb goal against Kerry in a match Tipp might have won in 1997 and the defeat of Clare and stubborn Munster final performance in 1998 showed that they have not lost the aspiration. Tipperary have not beaten Kerry in a Championship match since 1928 nor Cork since 1944, but the Minor footballers went to the All-Ireland final in 1984 and the under-21s were beaten in a replayed Munster final in 1987.
