Gearóid Ryan (born 26 August 1988) is an Irish hurler who played as a midfielder for the Tipperary senior team.
Ryan made his first appearance for the team during the 2009 National League and has become a regular player over the last few seasons. During that time he has won two All-Ireland winners' medals and five Munster winners' medals.
At club level Ryan is a one-time county intermediate championship medalist with Templederry Kenyons.
Ryan plays his club hurling with the Templederry Kenyons club and has enjoyed much success.
In 2008 the club claimed the North Tipperary title following a 0-17 to 1-10 defeat of Newport. It was Ryan's first silverware with the club. The Kenyons club later reached the county intermediate championship decider where Newport provided the opposition once again. The result was similar with Ryan adding a county intermediate title to his collection following a five-point victory. Ryan finished off the year by collecting a North Tipperary under-21 title.
Ryan first came to prominence on the inter-county scene as a member of the Tipperary minor hurling team in 2005. He enjoyed little success in his debut season, however, Tipperary reached the All-Ireland decider via the "back-door" in 2006. Three-in-a-row hopefuls Galway provided the opposition, however, Tipp powered to 2–18 to 2–7 victory. It was Ryan's sole All-Ireland medal in that grade.
Ryan subsequently joined the Tipperary under-21 team. He won a Munster medal in this grade in his debut season following a controversial one-point defeat of Clare. Tipp later reached the All-Ireland, however, Ryan's side were defeated by Kilkenny.
