A little bit of history : following a proposal from Tipperary, the Munster Council approved the commissioning of the new John Doyle Cup, which was presented for the first time to the 2024 Munster Minor Hurling Champions i.e Tipperary.
John Doyle from Holycross-Ballycahill in County Tipperary was one of the legends of the game of hurling, winning 8 All-Ireland Senior Hurling titles and 10 Munster Senior Hurling Championship titles in an inter-county career spanning from 1949 to 1967.
