Vote to pick Tipperary GAA's Pride of the Parish

We are now in the midst of the voting stage of Pride of the Parish

We are handing the mic over to you, our readers, to decide who truly embodies the Pride of the Parish. Over the last number of weeks across the pages of the Tipp Star, the Clonmel Nationalist, and online at TipperaryLive.ie, we have featured a number of nominees vying for the title of the Pride of the Parish in Co. Tipperary for 2026.

This special award is all about celebrating the unsung heroes of Tipperary’s GAA, Camogie, and LGFA clubs. From the pitch markers and kit washers to the youth coaches, tea-makers, and tireless volunteers, these are the people who give their hearts to our sporting communities without asking for a single word of thanks.

Only one exceptional legend will walk away with the ultimate title—and the final verdict is entirely down to your vote!

Voting is officially open from October 14th to October 22nd here online on TipperaryLive.ie.

We are calling on players, supporters, and families across every parish, town, and village in Tipperary to make your voice heard. Take a look through our shortlist of selfless nominees below, read their stories on our webpages, and cast your vote to help decide our champion.
