The Tyrone County Board of the Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA) (Irish: Cumann Lúthchleas Gael, Coiste Chontae Tír Eoghain), or Tyrone GAA, is one of the 32 county boards of the Gaelic Athletic Association in Ireland. It is responsible for Gaelic games in County Tyrone and for Tyrone inter-county teams.

History

Tyrone won three Gaelic Football All-Ireland finals from five appearances. They lost in 1986 and 1995, but won in 2003, 2005 and 2008. They reached the semi final of the 2009 All-Ireland championship but lost to Cork. Tyrone won their first Ulster Championship in 1956, defending it successfully in 1957. The last time they won was in 2016. Tyrone have achieved fourteen Ulster titles. They won two National League titles, in 2002 and 2003.

Healy Park in Omagh is the home grounds of Tyrone GAA

Tyrone were knocked out of the 2006 Gaelic Football Championship after a game against a superior Laois side, in O'Moore Park.^[1] They had a negative result in the 2007 National Football League. They then won the 2007 Ulster Senior Football Championship at Clones in July for the first time since 2003, before losing to Meath in the All-Ireland Quarter Final. The Tyrone side had been depleted by injury, with team captain Brian Dooher (shattered kneecap), play maker Brian McGuigan (damaged eye) and midfielder Colin Holmes ruled out for the season, while other key players, including Stephen O'Neill, Gerard Cavlan, Michael McGee and Conor Gormley, were all missing for most or all of the 2007 campaign due to injury. The 2008 campaign was again plagued by injuries. Things then got worse as they relinquished their Ulster title to Down after a replay in which Down won by a point after 160 minutes. After two wins in the Football Qualifiers against Louth at Drogheda and Westmeath at Healy Park in Omagh, they faced Mayo in Round 3 in Croke Park for a place in the quarter finals. Tyrone defeated Mayo 0–13 to 1–9, earning Tyrone a place in the quarter finals (last 8) of the championship, where they faced Leinster champions Dublin. They eased past Meath on a scoreline of 1–21 to 2–7. They faced Mayo in the final, winning with 6 points to spare

Tyrone were defeated in Killarney by Kerry in the 2012 All Ireland Championship.

In a thrilling All-Ireland Final Tyrone defeated Kerry 1–15 to 0–14 to win the Sam Maguire Cup for the third time. A week later the Tyrone Minor team defeated Mayo 1–20 to 1–15 in a replay to win the Thomas Markham Cup. Thus Tyrone became the first county since Kerry in 1980 to win All-Ireland Senior and Minor titles in the same year, and the first Ulster county ever to gain this achievement.

Camogie

High point of the Tyrone camogie story was the run of Eglish to the 1991 All-Ireland Senior Club Camogie Championship final. Led by the Jordan sisters they pulled off two of the shocks of the century in defeating Loughgiel in the Ulster final by 3–7 to 2–4 and then defeating Celtic of Dublin in the All Ireland semi-final, but lost the final heavily against Mullagh from Galway

Tyrone qualified for the All Ireland junior final of 1980 against Cork, defeating Armagh, Antrim and Louth in their path to the final. Ursula Jordan was the outstanding player of the era and in the history of camogie in the county, and was selected for Ulster’s Gael Linn Cup inter-provincial team. Ann Jordan, Sheila Burke and Paula Vallely were other notable players from the 1980s. Vera Campbell refereed the All Ireland senior finals of 1939, 1940 and 1943.

Tyrone won the Máire Ní Chinnéide Cup in 2008^[4] and the fourth division of the National Camogie League in 2010.^[5]

Under Camogie's National Development Plan 2010–2015, "Our Game, Our Passion,"^[6] five new camogie clubs were established in the county in 2015.^[7]
