Anthony Tierney (born 1938) is an Irish hurling coach, player and administrator. At club level he played with Nenagh Éire Óg and at inter-county level was a member of various Tipperary teams at all levels.
Tierney first played hurling at club level with Nenagh Éire Óg. He was part of the club's senior team that won North Tipperary SHC titles in 1957 and 1964, when he played at midfield.[1] At inter-county level, Tierney first played for Tipperary as part of the minor team that won a fifth consecutive Munster MHC title in 1956.[2] This win was later converted into an All-Ireland MHC medal, with Tierney lining out in goal.[3] He also had a brief spell with the senior team in 1967.[4]
