Round 3 (v Limerick 21 May)

Liam Cahill named his team on 19 May with goalkeeper Rhys Shelly making his championship debut alongside fellow debutant Eoghan Connolly and Patrick Maher also coming into the team.[99][100]
The match was played in front of a crowd of 37,459 in dry sunny conditions. Tipperary playing into the town end had the better of the first half and had a 0-15 to 0-12 lead at half-time with Gearoid O’Connor getting six points. Aaron Gillane had put Limerick into the lead in the first minute, with Noel McGrath slotting over a first-minute sideline to score for Tipperary.[101] In the second half Limerick came back to lead by one point with four unanswered points before Tipperary again went into the lead.[102] With the game into added time, Tom Morrissey put Limerick into the lead before substitute John McGrath who had only been on the pitch for a minute scored with a free in the 76th minute to level the match with a final scoreline of 0-25 to 0-25.[103] Limerick were down to 14 men for the last few minutes of the match when Barry Nash was sent off. Tipperary manager Liam Cahill also received a red card late on after an incorrect line ball decision against Tipperary.[104] Noel McGrath was named as the man of the match.[105][106][107][108]
Round 4 (v Waterford 28 May)
On Sunday 28 May Tipperary played already eliminated Waterford, managed by Davy Fitzgerald in their fourth match of the Munster Championship at Semple Stadium in Thurles. A victory for Tipperary would qualify them for the Munster final against Clare. The match was televised live on GAAGO for €12, or as part of a season pass for €79. The live coverage was hosted by Grainne McElwain with analysis from John O'Dwyer and Eoin Cadogan. Commentary on the game was by Mike Finnerty alongside Séamus Hickey. Tickets for the game cost €25 for the stand and €20 for the terrace. Brian McGrath and Seamus Callanan started for Tipperary in place of Cathal Barrett and Jake Morris.[109]
The match was played in front of a crowd of 20,832 in dry sunny conditions.[110] Waterford led from the start against a flat Tipperary and had a 0-17 to 0-8 lead at half time (they also had eight wides in the first half) and went on to win the game by six points for their first win of the Championship.[111] Dessie Hutchinson got the only goal of the game in the 52nd minute when he capitalized on a mistake by Rhys Shelly on a high ball to fire to the net from the right.[112] Despite the loss Tipperary still progressed to the All-Ireland series but missed out on a place in the Munster final. Limerick defeated Cork by a point in the other match that was played at the same time, a draw in that match (the teams were level at half-time) would have eliminated Tipperary from the All-Ireland series on score difference, as anything greater that a four point loss if a draw would have eliminated Tipperary also.[113][114]
Tipperary manager Liam Cahill speaking after the game said "I can't stress enough how disappointed we are for the Tipperary public today to witness a lot of basic errors on our behalf and it is something myself, Mikey, the management, and the players are really going to have to man up and get sorted out before we can say that we are serious All-Ireland contenders. We got rightly bet today. We got an awful hammering to be straight and honest about it."[115]

All-Ireland Championship Quarter-final (v Galway 24 June )
On Saturday 24 June Tipperary played Galway, managed by Henry Shefflin in the All-Ireland quarter-final at the Gaelic Grounds in Limerick. It was the 16th meeting between the teams in the championship since the 1987 All-Ireland Semi-final. Galway were coming into the match after losing the Leinster final on 11 June to a late goal by Kilkenny.[120] The team was announced on 22 June with just one change to the team that started the week before against Offaly, Cathal Barrett coming into the team instead of the injured Craig Morgan.[121][122] The match was televised live on RTÉ 2 as part of the Sunday Game presented by Joanne Cantwell with analysis by Joe Canning, Brendan Cummins and Ursula Jacob. Commentary on the game was provided by Ger Canning alongside Anthony Daly. Tickets for the game cost €40 for the stand and €30 for the terrace.
The match was played in front of a crowd of 34,180 in mostly dry warm conditions with occasional showers, it was the second quarter-final played at the venue after Clare had defeated Dublin in the earlier match.[123] [124] In a close first half low on quality, Galway playing into the city end had an 0-10 to 0-7 lead at half-time.[125] Galway scored a goal 20 seconds into the second half when Conor Whelan got past Cathal Barrett after he slipped to score with a low shot to the right corner of the net to put Galway into a six point lead.[126] They were eight ahead in the 51st minute when Conor Whelan scored another point.[127] Tipperary got to within four points in the 58th minute after four unanswered points. With ten minutes to go John McGrath came on as a substitute for Tipperary and within a minute he scored a goal to put just a point between the teams, running onto a breaking ball to shoot with a groundstroke high to the net.[128] Galway responded and stayed in front before going on to win the game by 1-20 to 1-18. Galway had 18 wides during the game and Rhys Shelly kept Tipperary in the game with three saves including a late save down low from Cianan Fahy.[129][130][131]
Tipperary manager Liam Cahill speaking after the game said "Bitterly disappointed, we just didn’t spark at all today, we seemed to be labouring right through the game. We gave ourselves a chance with seven or eight minutes to go and got it back to a point but continued to make unforced errors and even that aside I suppose we were still lucky to be only a point in it with eight minutes to go".[132]

Retirements
In February, two-time All-Ireland winner John O'Dwyer announced his retirement from inter-county hurling after ten years. In a released statement he said "It was a great pleasure to represent my county and win some silverware along the way, thanks to those close to me and to my club Killenaule, who without their support it wouldn't have been possible. So long." [133][134][135][136]
On 6 September three-time All-Ireland winner and former All-Ireland winning captain Séamus Callanan announced his retirement from inter-county hurling after 16 years.[137][138] In a released statement he said " I am very grateful to have had such an enjoyable career with so many great memories, the highlight of my playing career was undoubtedly captaining Tipperary to All-Ireland success in 2019". Callanan finished with a championship total of 40 goals and 226 points in 66 appearances. His last score was a goal against Offaly on 17 June, and his last appearance was against Galway on 24 June. [139][140][141]
On 3 November, two-time All-Ireland winner Niall O'Meara announced his retirement from inter-county hurling. In a released statement he said "After some thought I've decided the time is right for me to retire from inter county hurling. For as long as I can remember I always wanted to wear the blue and gold jersey and luckily since 2010 playing on the minor hurling and football teams I had the opportunity, something I will always cherish." O'Meara did not feature during the year due to ankle and groin injuries or in 2022, with his last appearance coming as a substitute in the defeat to Waterford on 31 July 2021. [142][143]
