William Peter "Liam" Clifford (27 June 1876 – 24 February 1949) was the ninth president of the Gaelic Athletic Association (1926–1928).
[citation needed] Under Liam Clifford's leadership, the Tipperary team toured America.
[2] Brendan Fullam stated ‘the Tipperary hurling team – All-Ireland champions of 1925 – boarded the SS Bremen in early May and set forth on a most successful tour of the States’.
[5] Therefore, Clifford was described as ‘the first President to encourage the various County Committees to purchase and develop grounds to be used exclusively for Gaelic Games’.
[6] Eamonn Sweeney stated ‘in the implementation of Clifford’s grounds programme; the GAA was unrivalled in its ability to provide grounds and facilities in the smallest of villages and towns’.
