Tipperary GAA has been gifted a 14-acre site by Coolmore Stud owner and businessman John Magnier to expand its current Centre of Excellence.

The site is adjacent to Coolmore Morris Park in Thurles and will allow for the development of additional sand-based pitches and top-class training facilities.

Tipperary GAA CEO Murtagh Brennan said in a statement: "This investment represents a watershed moment for Gaelic games in Tipperary and underscores our long-term commitment to nurturing athletic excellence and supporting the next generation of hurlers and footballers.

"Crucially, this expansion will serve not only our elite teams but the thousands of young boys and girls who represent the future of Tipperary GAA. It will provide a safe, modern and inclusive environment for youth development, physical wellbeing, and personal growth.

"The wider Tipperary community will also benefit, with this facility acting as a hub for participation, pride and connection across our county.

"Tipperary GAA extends its sincere gratitude to Mr Magnier for his outstanding generosity and vision.

"This development is not just an enhancement of facilities— it is an investment in the future of our county, our players, and our sporting community. It will ensure that Tipperary GAA continues to flourish and that our athletes have every opportunity to reach their full potential."
