Shannon Rovers GAA is a Tipperary GAA club which is located in the north of County Tipperary, Ireland. Both hurling and Gaelic football are played in the "North Tipperary" divisional competitions. The club is centered on the villages of Ballinderry, Terryglass and Kilbarron.
One of the founders of the club, John Lynch, was the great grandfather of singer, Shane MacGowan. In 2024, following MacGowan's death, the club produced a commemorative jersey featuring both Lynch and MacGowan.https://www.irishcentral.com/culture/shannon-rovers-gaa-shane-macgowan-jersey
