Philip Ryan (born 1944) is an Irish former hurler and Gaelic footballer. His championship career as a dual player with the Tipperary senior teams spanned eleven seasons from 1965 until 1975.

Born in Dunkerrin, County Offaly, Ryan was raised in a family that had a strong association with Gaelic games. His father, Séamus Ó Riain, had played junior hurling and football with Tipperary in the 1940s before becoming a Gaelic games administrator. He served in numerous roles with the Tipperary County Board and the Munster Council before becoming President of the Gaelic Athletic Association in 1967. Ryan's brothers - Jack, Séamus and Eugene - would all later play for Tipperary at various levels.[ citation needed ]

Ryan first played competitive Gaelic football and hurling with the Moneygall club at juvenile and underage levels. After winning several divisional titles in both codes, Ryan won back-to-back county senior championship medals in 1975 and 1976.[ citation needed ]

Ryan made his debut on the inter-county scene at the age of twenty when he was selected for the Tipperary under-21 and junior football teams. He later joined the under-21 hurling team and was an All-Ireland runner-up in 1965. That same year Ryan was added to the Tipperary senior football panel before joining the senior hurling panel in 1970. He retired from inter-county hurling following the conclusion of the 1975 championship.[ citation needed ]

Ryan's sister-in-law, Orla Ní Síocháin, was a three-time All-Ireland medal winner with the Dublin camogie team, while his nephew, Shane Ryan, was a six-time Leinster medal winner with the Dublin senior football team. [1]
