Boherlahan-Dualla GAA is a Gaelic Athletic Association club associated with the villages of Boherlahan located between the towns of Thurles and Cashel, and Dualla located between the towns of Cashel, and Killenaule, in County Tipperary, Republic of Ireland. The parish of Boherlahan-Dualla is a large parish in Tipperary which competes in the Mid-Tipperary Division. The Boherlahan-Dualla parish borders seven parishes from three separate divisions, Holycross-Ballycahill GAA and Moycarkey-Borris GAA to the North who play in the Mid-Tipperary Division, to the West it borders Knockavilla-Donaskeigh Kickhams GAA, Clonoulty-Rossmore GAA, Golden Kilfeacle and Cashel King Cormacs GAA all of whom play in the West, and to the East Killenaule GAA who play in the South Tipperary division. A proud tradition of hurling has existed in this parish throughout its history,and it has produced many hurlers for Tipperary with names like Leahy's, Maher's, Coffey's, O'Dwyer's, Power's, Flanagan's and Hickey's featuring prominently over the years for club and county.
The Mid Tipperary G.A.A. Board was founded in 1907 but Boherlahan, as a club, did not come into existence until 1912. Its first chairman was Tommy O'Dwyer. Though Boherlahan contested the Mid final in 1912 they were defeated by the Thurles "Blues" but in the following year, 1913, they defeated The Jockey 5-4 to 1-0 for their first Mid title. Boherlahan won successive Mid titles up until 1919, except for 1915 when our club opted into the south division and took the county title as well as the south title that year. Boherlahan again opted for the south division during the decade 1924 to 1934 so their next mid success was 1941 when Philly O'Dwyer led a team powered by Mahers, Coffeys, O'Dwyers and Loobys to mid and county success. Surviving members of that team are John, Flor Coffey, and Ned O'Dwyer.
