Noel McGrath (born 17 December 1990) is an Irish hurler who currently plays as a centre-forward for the Tipperary senior team.
McGrath joined the team straight out of the minor grade during the 2009 championship and immediately became a regular member of the starting fifteen the following year. Since then he has won one All-Ireland winners' medal and three Munster winners' medals. He has ended up as an All-Ireland runner-up on two occasions.
McGrath has a number of personal achievements. He won back-to-back All-Star awards during his first two seasons of championship hurling. Also in 2009 he won the All-Star Young Hurler of the Year award.
At club level McGrath is a one-time Munster medalist with Loughmore-Casteleiney. He has also won two county club championship medals.
Noel McGrath was born in Loughmore, County Tipperary in 1990, the son of former Tipp footballer and hurler Pat McGrath. He was educated at the local national school before later attending Our Lady's Secondary School in nearby Templemore. Here McGrath's hurling talents first came to the fore, and he was a regular on the school's senior team. In 2006 Our Lady's qualified for the final of the Dean Ryan Cup competition. Waterford's De La Salle provided the opposition and a close game developed. McGrath ended the game as the top scorer, having bagged 1-3 as the Tipperary side won the game by 1-10 to 2-4.
