Thomas "Tommy" Moore was an Irish sportsperson. He played hurling with the Faughs hurling club and was a member of the Dublin senior inter-county team. Tommy also served as Chairman of Faughs for a total of forty years (1929–69). He became a recipient of the Hall of Fame Award and the All-Ireland Senior Club Hurling Championship trophy is now called the Tommy Moore Cup.
Moore allowed his pub in Cathedral Street, Dublin to be a meeting place for the club when they had nowhere else to go. His pub was a GAA landmark and it soon became an annual tradition for the All-Ireland winning team to bring the Liam MacCarthy Cup to the pub after the final had been played.
Moore won six Dublin Senior Hurling Championship medals with Faughs including a four in a row (1920–23).
At inter-county level, he won four Leinster Senior Hurling Championship medals with Dublin in 1917, 1919, 1920 and 1921. He also won two All-Ireland medals with Dublin in 1917 and 1920. In 1917, Dublin were represented by the Collegians (UCD) club and in 1920, by his own club, Faughs.
He captured his first Leinster title in 1917 following a 5-1 to 4-0 victory over Kilkenny. The subsequent All-Ireland final pitted 'the Dubs' against Tipperary. Dublin had come from nowhere and took on one of the giants of the championship. A 5-4 to 4-2 victory gave Dublin the victory and gave Moore his first All-Ireland medal.
