Tipperary recorded their first victory over Cork in the Munster Senior Football Championship since 1944 and reached the All-Ireland semi-finals for the first time since 1935.

In November 2015, Liam Kearns had been named as the new manager of the Tipperary senior football team. [1] [2] [3]

Intersport/Elverys continued as sponsors of Tipperary GAA for the second year. The Tipperary jersey for the 2016 season was the same as was used in 2015 and displayed the Intersport brand name on the front and their co-sponsor Elvery’s name on the back. [4]

Intersport Elverys is a sports store chain in Ireland. Founded in 1847, it is Ireland's oldest sports store. Intersport Elverys sell sports clothes and equipment, both third-party and own brand goods.

On 3 November 2016, Michael Quinlivan won Tipperary's first All-Star award since 2003, being picked in the full-forward position. Evan Comerford, Robbie Kiely, Peter Acheson, and Conor Sweeney were also nominated. Josh Keane and Jimmy Feehan were also nominated for the All Stars Young Footballer of the Year award. [5] [6] Quinlivan became just the second Tipperary footballer to claim an All Star, joining Declan Browne who won the awards in 1998 and 2003. [7]

Michael Quinlivan is an Irish Gaelic football player who plays at inter-county level for Tipperary, and plays his club football for Clonmel Commercials in South Tipperary.

The Gaelic Athletic Association-Gaelic Players' Association All Stars Awards are awarded annually to the best player in each of the 15 playing positions in Gaelic football and hurling. Additionally, one player in each code is selected as Player of the Year. The awards have since 2011 been presented jointly by the Gaelic Athletic Association and the representative body for inter-county players, the Gaelic Players Association.

The GAA & GPA All Stars Young Footballer of the Year is an annual award given at the end of the Championship season to a young footballer aged 23 years or younger who is adjudged to have been the best in Gaelic football.

2016 Squad and Management

In Gaelic games, a manager or bainisteoir is involved in the direction and instruction of the on-field operations of a team. The role entails the application of sport tactics and strategies during the game itself, and usually entails substitution of players and other such actions as needed. At games, the manager may sometimes wear a bib with the word "manager" or "bainisteoir" adorning it. Many managers were former players themselves, and are assisted in coaching the team by a group of selectors.

In some team sports, a selector is a member of a selection panel which chooses teams or individuals to represent a country or club or other representative team in sporting competitions.
