Tipperary (Irish: Tiobraid Árann) is a town in the centre of County Tipperary, Ireland. It is not a county town, as the county is divided into two council areas, North Tipperary and South Tipperary, with administrative centres of Nenagh and Clonmel respectively. The town was historically a market town, and still today retains a broad main street with many shops. The town is situated on the N24 route between Limerick and Waterford. The town has a railway station on a line following the same route, but is not well serviced. The nearby station of Limerick Junction has full services to Cork City and Dublin in addition to Limerick and Waterford.
Signs on roads entering the town quip "You've come a long way..." in reference to the popular World War I-era song "It's a Long Way to Tipperary".
