The West Tipperary Senior Hurling Championship (known for sponsorship reasons as the Tipperary Co-Op West Tipperary Senior Hurling Championship) is an annual hurling competition organised by the West Tipperary Board of the Gaelic Athletic Association since 1930 for senior hurling teams in West Tipperary, Ireland.
The championship has always been played using a knock-out format.
The West Tipperary Championship was, until recent times, an integral part of the wider Tipperary Senior Hurling Championship. The winners and runners-up of the West Tipperary Championship joined their counterparts from the other three divisions to contest the county championship quarter-finals.
Four teams currently participate in the West Tipperary Championship. The title has been won at least once by 13 different teams. The all-time record-holders are Clonoulty-Rossmore, who have won a total of 20 titles.
Overview
Since there are currently only two senior clubs in the division Clonoulty-Rossmore and Cashel King Cormacs automatically qualify for the final. That game is played as a single leg. If that game ends as a draw there is a period of extra time, followed by a second period of extra time should the teams remain deadlocked. If both sides are still level at the end of extra time a replay takes place and so on until a winner is found.
