The Tyrone County Board of the Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA) (Irish: Cumann Lúthchleas Gael, Coiste Chontae Tír Eoghain), or Tyrone GAA, is one of the 32 county boards of the Gaelic Athletic Association in Ireland. It is responsible for Gaelic games in County Tyrone and for Tyrone inter-county teams.
Tyrone won three Gaelic Football All-Ireland finals from five appearances. They lost in 1986 and 1995, but won in 2003, 2005 and 2008. They reached the semi final of the 2009 All-Ireland championship but lost to Cork. Tyrone won their first Ulster Championship in 1956, defending it successfully in 1957. The last time they won was in 2016. Tyrone have achieved fourteen Ulster titles. They won two National League titles, in 2002 and 2003.
Tyrone were knocked out of the 2006 Gaelic Football Championship after a game against a superior Laois side, in O'Moore Park. They had a negative result in the 2007 National Football League. They then won the 2007 Ulster Senior Football Championship at Clones in July for the first time since 2003, before losing to Meath in the All-Ireland Quarter Final. The Tyrone side had been depleted by injury, with team captain Brian Dooher (shattered kneecap), play maker Brian McGuigan (damaged eye) and midfielder Colin Holmes ruled out for the season, while other key players, including Stephen O'Neill, Gerard Cavlan, Michael McGee and Conor Gormley, were all missing for most or all of the 2007 campaign due to injury. The 2008 campaign was again plagued by injuries. Things then got worse as they relinquished their Ulster title to Down after a replay in which Down won by a point after 160 minutes. After two wins in the Football Qualifiers against Louth at Drogheda and Westmeath at Healy Park in Omagh, they faced Mayo in Round 3 in Croke Park for a place in the quarter finals. Tyrone defeated Mayo 0–13 to 1–9, earning Tyrone a place in the quarter finals (last 8) of the championship, where they faced Leinster champions Dublin. They eased past Meath on a scoreline of 1–21 to 2–7. They faced Mayo in the final, winning with 6 points to spare
