UpperchurchâÂÂDrombane GAA is a Gaelic Athletic Association club in the areas of Upperchurch and Drombane, County Tipperary, Ireland. The club fields teams in both hurling and Gaelic football.
Located in the Upperchurch and Drombane area, about 8 miles outside Thurles, UpperchurchâÂÂDrombane GAA Club began as two separate clubs in 1886. The first 50 years of the Gaelic Athletic Association saw the existence of various teams in the parish, with both Drombane and Upperchurch playing separately and also being involved in different amalgamations at different times, calling themselves Clodiagh Rangers. Drombane beat Thurles to win the Tipperary SHC title in 1894.
By 1933, Upperchurch and Drombane had joined forces as a single club and won the first of six Mid Tipperary JAHC titles. The club claimed three Mid Tipperary IHC titles between 1991 and 1998, the last of which was subsequently converted into the club's first Tipperary IHC title and senior status for the first time ever.
UpperchurchâÂÂDrombane also won four Mid Tipperary JAFC titles during this period, before winning it's sole Tipperary JAFC title in 2002. Several Mid Tipperary IFC titles were later won, with UpperchurchâÂÂDrombane also winning their first Tipperary IFC title in 2015. A decade later in 2025, UpperchurchâÂÂDrombane secured senior hurling status once again, after beating Carrick Swans to claim the Tipperary PIHC title. The club later claimed the Munster Club IHC title, following a 3âÂÂ20 to 0âÂÂ15 win over O'Callaghan's Mills in the final.
