Carrickbeg (Irish: An Charraig Bheag, meaning 'the small rock')[1] is a village in County Tipperary,[2] Ireland. Located on the border with County Waterford, it comprises that part of the town of Carrick-on-Suir lying south of the River Suir. The area is in County Tipperary, but some residents have an affinity for County Waterford, as well as it previously having been a part of that county.

Carrickbeg came to national attention in 2008 when the winning ticket for a €15 million EuroMillions jackpot was sold in the village.[3]
