Tony Browne (born 1 July 1973) is an Irish hurler who played as a right wing-back for the Waterford senior team from 1991 until his retirement from inter-county hurling in 2014.
Browne made his first appearance for the team during the 1991–92 National League and immediately became a regular member of the starting fifteen. During his inter-county career, he won four Munster winners' medals and one National League winners' medal. He ended up as an All-Ireland runner-up on one occasion.
At club level Browne is a one-time Munster medalist with Mount Sion. In addition to this he has won seven county club championship medals.
Browne has a number of personal achievements, including being the most "capped" Waterford hurler of all-time. He won three All-Star awards and, in 1998, he became the first Waterford player to be named All-Star Hurler of the Year. In 2009 he was chosen on the Munster team of the past twenty-five years.
Browne plays his club hurling with Mount Sion and has enjoyed much success in a lengthy career.
After claiming championship medals in the minor and under-21 grades, he later became a key member of the Mount Sion senior hurling team. Browne won his first championship medal in this grade in 1994 following a 2–13 to 1–11 defeat of Passage.
After surrendering their title the following year, it was 1998 before Mount Sion reached the championship decider once again. Ballyduff Upper were the opponents on that occasion, however, a 3–19 to 0–10 thrashing gave Browne his second championship medal.
Mount Sion failed to retain the title once again, however, Browne lined out in a third successive decider in 2000. A 1–20 to 0–9 trouncing of Ballygunner gave Browne a third championship medal.
