Eoin Kelly also missed a penalty chance at goal. Tipp's Noel McGrath got the only goal and Tipperary were back within 2 points. Clare's backs never looked like being beaten and Tipperary got the last point of the game.http://www.tipperary.gaa.ie/cgi-bin/newsdisplay.cgi?rm=viewListing;plugin_data_id=69245;site_id=185 2010 Waterford Crystal Cup Hurling Quarter-Final 2010-01-26 Tipperary.gaa.ie 2010-01-26 June 2017 InternetArchiveBot yes

2010 All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship
All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship 2010
Tipperary started out their Munster championship campaign against Cork in Páirc Uí Chaoimh on 30 May. The winner had the chance of playing Limerick in the semi-final, which was a mismatch for both teams. In a competitive sense, a Munster semi-final. Tipperary started out getting a point in the opening few minute, but Cork soon replied. Tipperary got two more points to make it a 0–3 to 0–1 lead, but Cork soon led. With just 13 minutes gone, Aisike O'hAilpin caught a ball above Padraig Maher and was brought down for a penalty. Pat Horgan had taken a penalty last year, but missed. This year he did the opposite and gave Cork a 1–1 to 0–3 lead. Lar Corbett had a chance beforehand to score a goal, but a great Save from Donal Óg sent it for a 65'. Cork then got two more points to get a three-point lead. Just a few minutes later, Cork was up again and Pat Horgan cracked in another fine goal to give Cork a 2–5 to 0–9 lead at half time. Tipperary reduced the lead back to a point, but Cork answered them again. Cork then scored five points on the trot before Tipperary scored again. With 10 minutes remaining, Cork's Jerry O'Connor gave a handpass to a free Aisike O'hAilpin who drove the ball into the net for the killing blow. Tipperary scored only a small four points in the second half to be beaten by the Rebel's, 3–15 to 0-14 points.
Tipp's qualifier round 1 game was against Wexford in Semple Stadium on 3 July. The winner would go on while the loser's championship would be ended prematurely. Tipperary started off well, and by half time they were 0–15 to 0–7 up. Right after the second half began, the game was effectively killed with two goals from Lar Corbett plus two points from play. The pace of the game slowed down and Tipperary ran the game out winners on the scoreline 3–24 to 0–19.http://www.tipperary.gaa.ie/cgi-bin/newsdisplay.cgi?rm=viewListing;plugin_data_id=79946;site_id=185June 2017 InternetArchiveBot yes
Tipp's qualifier round 3 game was against Offaly in O'Moore Park, Portlaoise on 18 July. The winner would be back in an All-Ireland quarter final. Tipperary and Offaly both started well, but Tipperary started putting more points away and were leading by six points, 0–7 to 0–1 after 20 minutes. Tipperary finished out the half with a 9-point lead, 0–14 to 0-5 points. Offaly battled hard in the second half, but Tipperary kept putting away the points and never relinquished the lead below 8 points until the final minute of the game, when the Tipperary backs were caught off guard and Offaly slotted home a goal to put the deficit to 6. The final score 0–21 to 1–12 to Tipp.http://www.tipperary.gaa.ie/plugins/newsdisplay.cgi?rm=viewListing&plugin_data_id=80511&site_id=185June 2017 InternetArchiveBot yes
Tipperary were back in Croke park once again for their All-Ireland quarter final clash with Galway. The game started out at a blistering pace with Tipperary and Galway getting scores. It was 0–4 to 0-1 till Galway's Eanna Ryan made it 0–4 to 1–1 with a goal. It was point for point till the score was 1–3 to 0-6 then 'Bonnar' Maher caught a great ball and hand-passed it off to Eoin Kelly who finished it to give Tipperary a 1–6 to 1–3 lead. Galway kept fighting back and staying in the game. Galway gained a three-point lead, but points from Kelly and Brendan Maher brought it down to one before substitute Seamus Callinan blasted home a goal to make it 2–8 to 1–9 at half time. Galway had more fight in them and gained the lead once more thanks to a goal from Damien Hayes after a bad mistake from Paul Curran. Tipperary battled back and the score was 2-10 a piece before Gearoid Ryan got Tipperary the lead 3–10 to 2–10. Galway then got a penalty and Joe Canning stepped up and scored. Galway put over the points and were two points ahead with 5 minutes to go. Substitute John O'Brien scored a point and Gearoid added his point to tie it up with a minute to go. Other sub Pa Bourke got the ball on the 21-metre line and headed for goal before turning back and giving the ball to Lar Corbett. Lar Corbett put it over the bar for the lead. Galway had one minute to get an equalising point and had the ball 21 metres out and there was a ruckus with many players from each team fighting for the ball with a Galway man lying on top of the ball. The ref deemed the ball wasn't going anywhere and blew up. Tipperary won 3–17 to 3–16.http://tipperary.gaa.ie/cgi-bin/newsdisplay.cgi?rm=viewListing;plugin_data_id=80774;site_id=185June 2017 InternetArchiveBot yes

However that was the closest they were going to get as Tipperary scored another goal, this time Eoin Kelly. Tipperary got more points and another goal from Eoin Kelly sealed the deal. With the game over before 5 minutes to go, Waterford snuck in and got a consolation goal from Eoin McGrath.

2010 All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship Final
Tipperary reached the All-Ireland final for their second time in a row to face last year's opponents Kilkenny on 5 September. The match began well as Kilkenny struggled for some time when they lost Henry Shefflin through injury. Tipperary got a goal in the tenth minute struck by Lar Corbett which gave Tipperary a 5-point lead. Kilkenny did have a goal chance soon afterwards but was comfortably dealt with by Brendan Cummins. Kilkenny however got back in the game with points from Richie Power. Power scored Kilkenny's only goal just before half-time, but Tipperary made sure Kilkenny never got the lead and Tipperary went in at half-time Tipperary 1–10 Kilkenny 1–9. Kilkenny began the second half with points from Richie Power and the captain T.J. Reid to level up the game. However, Kilkenny never led as Tipperary regained points by captain Eoin Kelly before Lar Corbett struck Tipp's second goal in the 41st minute. Two minutes later, Noel Mcgrath fired Tipp's third goal past P.J. Ryan to certainly Kilkenny's 5 in a row.
