Thomas Treacy (2 March 1904 – 25 September 1985) was an Irish hurler. At club he played with Killea and Young Irelands, and also lined out at inter-county level with various Tipperary and Dublin teams.
Treacy first played hurling at club level with Killea, with whom he won a Mid Tipperary SHC medal in 1928.[1] He later transferred to the Young Irelands club in Dublin. Treacy's adopted team enjoyed a golden age during his playing days and he won Dublin SHC titles in 1932, 1937, 1942 and 1943.[2]
At inter-county level, Treacy first played for Tipperary as a member of the junior team in 1926. He won an All-Ireland JHC medal as team captain that year after a 6-02 to 2-03 defeat of Galway in the final.[3] Treacy was immediately promoted to the senior team in 1927 and soon won a National Hurling League title. He won a Munster SHC after a defeat of Clare in 1930.[4] Treacy lined out at midfield when Tipperary beat Dublin in the 1930 All-Ireland final.[5]
Treacy declared for the Dublin senior hurling team in 1933. He won a Leinster SHC medal the following year, however, Dublin were later beaten by Limerick in the 1934 All-Ireland final.[6] After three years with the Dublin team, Treacy once again declared for Tipperary. He claimed a second All-Ireland SHC medal after Tipperary's defeat of Kilkenny in the 1937 All-Ireland final.
Treacy brought his 16-year inter-county career to an end in 1943, by which stage he had won a third Munster SHC medal. He also earned selection to the Munster team and won Railway Cup medals in 1930, 1931 and 1934.[7]
Treacy died at James Connolly Memorial Hospital, Dublin on 25 September 1985, at the age of 81.[8]
