Art McRory is a former Tyrone Gaelic Football Manager. He was the manager on and off during for nearly twenty five years, leading Tyrone to their first two periods of relative success - the All-Ireland Finals of 1986 and 1995. Although they never won the All-Ireland under his management, McRory is still regarded as one of the great Tyrone managers, having won an unprecedented six Ulster Championships under his guidance (1984, 1986, 1989, 1995, 1996, 2001). He formed an extremely productive relationship with Eugene McKenna, both when McKenna was a player under McRory, and as a manager alongside him. He left Tyrone management in 2002, after a disappointing exit in the Championship Qualifiers to an unfancied Sligo, ostenisibly due to health concerns, but there is also speculation the parting with the Tyrone County board was acrimonious. This paved the way for his successor, Mickey Harte, who has guided Tyrone to two All-Ireland crowns.
