History

:''See main article History of Tyrone gaelic football''
Tyrone have won two All-Ireland finals, from four appearances. They lost in 1986 and 1995, but won in 2003 and 2005.

Tyrone won their first Ulster Championship in 1956, defending it successfully in 1957. The last time they won was in 2007, which was their eleventh.

They have also won two National Leagues, in 2002, and 2003.

Tyrone exited the 2006 Football Championship after a poor display against Laois, on a wet Saturday night in O'Moore Park, Portlaoise.[1] and followed this up with a poor showing in the 2007 National Football League. However the team bounced back by winning the 2007 Ulster Senior Football Championship at Clones in July for the first time since 2003 but then fell to Meath in the All ireland Quarter Final. The Tyrone panel had been depleted by injury, with team captain Brian Dooher (shattered kneecap), inspirational play maker Brian McGuigan (damaged eye) and midfielder Colin Holmes ruled out for the season, while other key players, including Stephen O'Neill, Gerard Cavlan and Conor Gormley, all missing most or all of the 2007 campaign due to injury.
