During their first decade, it was said that Tipperary Town had the strongest clubs in Ireland due to the presence of Bohercrowe and Rosanna.

[citation needed] In 1895, Arravale Rovers won the All-Ireland Football Final, representing Tipperary.

[2] In 2011 Arravale Rovers beat Éire Óg Annacarty by 1-7 to 0-7 to win the West Tipperary Senior Football Championship for the first time since 1993.

This win brought the club's tally in the Divisional Senior Football Championship roll of honour to 11, including the often disputed victory of 1942 which the club always claim to have won, though a scarcity of records give credence to the notion that they were the only team affiliated at senior level in that season.

In 1997, Arravale Rovers won the Tipperary Intermediate Hurling Championship final with a very experienced team which had challenged for a number of years before.
