Tony Browne (born July 1, 1973) is an Irish hurler who played as a right wing-back for the Waterford senior team from 1991, until he retired from inter-county hurling in 2014.
Browne made his first appearance for the team during the 1991–92 National League and immediately became a regular member of the starting fifteen. During his inter-county career, he won four Munster medals and one National League medal. On one occasion, he ended up as an All-Ireland runner-up.
At the club level, Browne is a one-time Munster medalist with Mount Sion. In addition to this, he has won seven county club championship medals.
Browne has a number of personal achievements, including being the most "capped" Waterford hurler of all time.[1] He won three All-Star awards, and in 1998 he became the first Waterford player to be named All-Star Hurler of the Year. In 2009, he was chosen to be on the best Munster team of the past twenty-five years.[2]
