The club competes in the Mid-Tipperary division of Tipperary GAA, and draws its players and support from the parish of the same name.

Although Loughmore–Castleiney GAA club didn’t really become an entity until the forties, Gaelic games flourished in the parish since the founding of Cumann Luthchleas Gael in 1884.

[1] The club provided Jim Ryan and Bill Ryan to the Tipperary GAA team that played in Croke Park on Bloody Sunday against Dublin GAA in November 1920 when their playing colleague Michael Hogan of Grangemockler was one of 15 people shot and killed by British forces who opened fire from the sidelines.

Apart from Ballyduag, in the first decade of the 20th century, very little competitive hurling appears to have been played in the parish until Castleiney contested the Mid Junior final of 1923.

Denis Mackey played on the Tipperary Junior hurling team that won the Munster final in 1929.

United for the first time in 1940, Loughmore–Castleiney made parish history by winning the Mid and county senior football titles.

Eddie’s son, Micheál, became the club’s third Railway Cup medal winner thirty years later, this time in hurling.

[1] The eighties were to prove even more successful; winning the 1980 Intermediate hurling county final gave the club dual senior status which has not been relinquished since.

In 1989, Pat McGrath and John Cormack added Senior All-Ireland hurling medals to their already considerable under-age collection at national level.

Ned Ryan brought distinction to the club and parish when he won a Senior hurling All-Ireland medal in 1991.

[1] The new millennium started well with David Kennedy, Paul Ormond and Noel Morris collecting All-Ireland Senior hurling medals in 2001.

In 2012, it was Eddie Connolly’s turn to bring an All-Ireland cup to the parish – Intermediate hurling on this occasion when Evan Sweeney also collected a medal.

The McGrath brothers brought great honour to the club in 2016 when Noel and John won Senior hurling All-Ireland medals and Brian captained the successful minor team on the first Sunday of September.

[1] In 2021, the first piece of silverware came from our Junior C hurlers who won the Mid final beating Gortnahoe–Glengoole on a score line of 1-14 to 0-08.
