Carrick Swan GAA club is located in the town of Carrick-on-Suir in South Tipperary in Ireland and is one of three GAA clubs in the town, one of which, St. Molleran's is in County Waterford in the southern suburb of Carrickbeg across the Suir. The Swans whose colours are clock and white are predominantly a hurling club and lead the roll of honour for the number of South Tipperary senior hurling championships won. The club enjoys a keen rivalry with the longer established Carrick Davins, named in honour of Maurice Davin, first President of the GAA who lived at Deerpark near the town. The Swans most famous players were the Wall brothers, Willie and Tom who played with distinction for Tipperary in the 1940s.
