Two-time Tipperary All-Ireland winning hurler Dan McCormack has announced his inter-county retirement.
The versatile Borris-Ileigh clubman represented the Premier County for a decade, during which he played in defence, midfield and attack. He made 40 championship appearances and lined out at wing forward in Tipp’s All-Ireland SHC wins of 2016 and ’19.
“After careful consideration and reflection, I have decided that now is the right time for me to announce my retirement from inter county hurling with the Tipperary senior hurling team,” he said in a statement released through Tipperary GAA.
“Since joining the panel in 2015, it has been a huge honour to represent Tipperary and I will always cherish the time I got to wear the blue and gold at the highest possible level.
“Firstly, and most importantly I want to sincerely thank my wife Edwina and family especially my parents, John & Patricia, for their continuous encouragement and support throughout my inter-county career.
“I will forever be indebted to my club Borris-Ileigh who played a crucial role in my career from a young age. I look forward to giving back as much as I can in the coming years.
“I would like to thank all the players I played with, and I feel unbelievably lucky to have shared a dressing-room with some of the best Tipperary have ever produced. More importantly, I have made lifelong friendships and shared fantastic memories along the way.
“Finally, I wish Tipperary all the very best for 2025. I have no doubt that the players and management will give their all to bring success back to Tipperary over the next number of years and I look forward to supporting them along the journey.”
