County Tipperary was a parliamentary constituency in Ireland, which from 1801 to 1885 returned two Members of Parliament (MPs) to the House of Commons of the United Kingdom.

Boundaries

This constituency comprised the whole of County Tipperary, except the parliamentary boroughs of Cashel (1801–1870) and Clonmel (1801–1885). After the Sligo and Cashel Disfranchisement Act 1870, the borough of Cashel ceased to have separate representation, and eligible voters were added to the roll for the county constituency.

In 1885, the constituency was divided into East Tipperary, Mid Tipperary, North Tipperary, and South Tipperary.
