Tony Lanigan (born 1968[1]) is an Irish former hurler. At club level he played with Holycross–Ballycahill and was also a member of the Tipperary senior hurling team.
Lanigan first played hurling at juvenile and underage levels with the Holycross–Ballycahill club. He won a divisional title in the minor grade in 1984, the same year he won a special county title as a schoolboy with Thurles Vocational School. Lanigan eventually progressed onto the club's senior team and won a Tipperary SHC title in 1990 after beating Cashel King Cormacs in the final.[2] He also won four Mid Tipperary SHC titles between 1985 and 1999.
At inter-county level, had a two-year tenure with the Tipperary minor hurling team, however, Cork was the dominant team in the championship at the time.[3] He immediately progressed onto the under-21 team and was at left corner-forward when the team that beat Offaly in the 1989 All-Ireland under-21 final.[4] Lanigan's performances in the under-21 grade earned a call-up to the senior team's extended training panel during their 1989 All-Ireland SHC-winning campaign.
