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.

Clonoulty-Rossmore are the title-holders after defeating Éire Óg Annacarty in the 2017, 2018, and 2019 championship finals.

The championship

Overview

Since there are currently only two senior clubs in the division Clonoulty-Rossmore and Éire Óg Annacarty 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.

Longest gaps between successive championship titles:

gollark: Such as MacBooks beind built with entirely inadequate cooling.
gollark: They're unrepairable and often have really stupid flaws.
gollark: Stupid "trusted computing"...
gollark: I mean, there's Google "Safety"Net and stuff.
