Intersport/Elverys continued as sponsors of Tipperary GAA for a third year. Tipperary wore a New Jersey design for the first time on 23 April in the League final against Galway. The new design has Intersport with Elverys underneath with Elverys.ie on the back shoulders.
The Tipperary players and management team traveled to Miami in December 2016 for a team holiday where they rang in the new year. Tipperary again chose not to compete in the Munster Senior Hurling League which was held in January.
Tipperary were going for a three in a row of Munster titles and were also defending their All-Ireland title. They were looking to win back-to-back All-Ireland's for the first time since 1965.
