Raymond Ryan (born 16 March 1971) is an Irish hurling coach and former player. At club level he played with Cashel King Cormacs and at inter-county level with the Tipperary senior hurling team. Ryan also served as manager of a number of club and inter-county teams.
Ryan attended Cashel CBS where he played both hurling and Gaelic football to a high standard. During his time there he won Croke Cup, Fitzgerald Cup and Kinane Cup titles.[1]
At club level, Ryan first played for Cashel King Cormacs at juvenile and underage levels. He won a number of divisional and county titles in the minor and under-21 grades before progresing to adult level. Ryan was part of the team when Cashel King Cormacs beat Holycross–Ballycahill by 2–08 to 1–05 to win the club's inaugural Tipperary SHC title in 1991. This was later converted into a Munster Club SHC title.[2]
At inter-county level, Ryan first appeared for Tipperary during a two-year tenure with the minor team, including one season as team captain. He was drafted onto the under-21 team while still eligible for the minor grade and won consecutive Munster U21HC titles. Ryan was a substitute when Tipperary beat Offaly by 4–10 to 3–11 in the 1989 All-Ireland U21HC final.[3]
Ryan was in his final year with Tipperary's under-21 when he joined the senior team.[4] He won a Munster SHC in 1993, before claiming a National Hurling League title the following year.[5] Ryan was a substitute when Tipperary were beaten by Clare in the 1997 All-Ireland SHC final.[6] He won a second National League title in 1999. Ryan also won consecutive Railway Cup medals with Munster.[7]
