McCormack first appeared on the inter-county scene for Tipperary at the age of 17 as a member of the minor team that won the All-Ireland MHC title after a defeat of Offaly in 2022. McCormack got the winning score with a goal in the last seconds of the game. [6] He immediately progressed to the under-20 team, however, he missed much of the 2024 season due to injury. [7] McCormack was again eligible for the grade the following year and won an All-Ireland U20HC medal after a 3–19 to 1–16 win over Kikenny in the final in which he scored 2-1. [8]
