David Power Appointed as Tipperary Senior Ladies Football Manager

Tipperary LGFA is delighted to announce the appointment of David Power as the new Tipperary Senior Ladies Football Manager.

The appointment was ratified at a meeting of Tipperary Ladies Football County Board tonight, (Monday Sept 8^th)

David Power brings with him a remarkable track record of leadership, player development, and championship success across all levels of Gaelic football. A highly respected figure in both men’s and ladies' football, David has consistently nurtured talent and delivered results throughout his managerial career.

Extensive Inter-County Experience

David is perhaps best known for guiding the Tipperary Senior Men’s Football Team to a historic Munster Senior Football Championship title in 2020 — the county's first in 85 years. During his tenure as senior manager (2020–2023), he also led Tipperary to promotion from Division 4 of the National Football League in 2022.

His earlier achievements include a groundbreaking spell as Tipperary Minor Football Manager (2009–2012), where he led the county to the All-Ireland Minor Football title in 2011, along with back-to-back Munster Minor titles in 2011 and 2012. At underage level, he also secured Munster U17 titles in 2010 and 2011, and the Munster U16 title in 2010.

Outside of Tipperary, David also enjoyed success with Wexford GAA, managing their Senior, Junior, and U21 footballers in 2015 and 2016, guiding Wexford to back-to-back Leinster Junior Football Championships.

Ladies Football Experience

David has strong and growing ties with the ladies' game, having coached the WIT Ladies Football Team in 2018/2019, helping guide them to a Giles Cup Weekend appearance. He also coached Comeragh Rangers LGFA in 2018 and 2019, further demonstrating his commitment to the development of ladies football at both club and college level.
