Biography[]

Raised near Boherlahen, County Tipperary, Ryan was born to James Ryan, a farmer, and his wife Ellen. After a brief education he later moved Cashel where he first worked as a shopkeeper before opening his own business as a draper.[citation needed]

Ryan first came to prominence as a hurler with the Tubberadora club that dominated the Tipperary Championship in the 1890s. He also played with the Cashel King Cormacs club.[citation needed]

Success at club level saw Ryan join the Tipperary senior hurling team during the 1896 championship. He won All-Ireland Championship medals in 1896 and 1898 after respective defeats of Dublin and Kilkenny. Ryan also won two Munster Championship medals.[2]

Ryan died in Cashel on 18 February 1969. At the time of his death he was Tipperary's oldest All-Ireland medal winner.[citation needed]
