Tipperary, the Premier County, has certainly played its part in the creation, development and enhancement of the game of hurling. The men who led their twenty-six All-Ireland title winning teams have gone down in legend as true Captains of the Premier Ship.

From Thurles' Jim Stapleton in 1887 - Tipperary's first - to Mullinahone's Eoin Kelly in 2010 - Tipperary's winning senior hurling captains - a compelling tale of triumph and achievement, a unique insight into the psyche of winners.

For Tipperary people, it is a celebration of success and a reminder of just why the title 'Premier County' was bestowed upon their kin.
