Tyrone GAA

The Tyrone County Board (Irish: Cumann Lúthchleas Gael, Coiste Chontae Tír Eoghain), or Tyrone GAA, is one of the 32 county boards of the Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA) in Ireland, and is responsible for the administration of Gaelic games in County Tyrone, Northern Ireland.

The county board is responsible for preparing the Tyrone county teams in the various Gaelic sporting codes; football, hurling, camogie and handball.

The county football team was the sixth from the province of Ulster to win the Sam Maguire Cup, leaving only Antrim, Fermanagh and Monaghan to still win the trophy and become All-Ireland champions.

According to a 2015 TUD study by Shane Mangan, Tyrone had 10,500 players.

The county's most successful football club is Carrickmore. Carrickmore has won the Tyrone Senior Football Championship on fifteen occasions. Errigal Ciarán has won the Tyrone Senior Football Championship on eleven occasions and the Ulster Senior Club Football Championship three times, in 1994, 2002 & 2024.

Two Tyrone clubs have won the men's All-Ireland Intermediate Club Championship: Cookstown Fr. Rock's GAC in 2010 and 2013, and Moy Tír Na nÓg GAC in 2018.

Greencastle GAA men won the All-Ireland Junior Club Championship in 2007. The Ladies (Sperrin Óg) won the All-Ireland Junior Club Championship in 2011.

Tyrone won its first Ulster Senior Football Championship (SFC) in 1956, defending it successfully in 1957. The county did not win a third Ulster SFC title until 1973.
