Career
McCormack played hurling as a student at Our Lady's Secondary School in Templemore. He played in the various grades during his time there, including in the Dr Harty Cup.[1] McCormack later studied at TUS Midwest and has been included on their Fitzgibbon Cup team.[2]
At club level, McCormack first played for Borris-Ileigh at juvenile and underage levels. He won North Tipperary U21AHC titles in 2022 and 2024.[3][4] McCormack made his senior team debut in 2023.[5]
McCormack first appeared on the inter-county scene for Tipperary at the age of 17 as a member of the minor team that won the All-Ireland MHC title after a defeat of Offaly in 2022. McCormack got the winning score with a goal in the last seconds of the game.[6] He immediately progressed to the under-20 team, however, he missed much of the 2024 season due to injury.[7] McCormack was again eligible for the grade the following year and won an All-Ireland U20HC medal after a 3–19 to 1–16 win over Kikenny in the final in which he scored 2-1.[8]
Performances in the under-20 grade resulted in McCormack being drafted onto the senior team in June 2025.[9]
On 20 July in the 2025 All-Ireland final, he was and unused substitute as Tipperary defeated Cork by 3-27 to 1-19 and claim a 29th All-Ireland title.[10][11] This win completed the full set of Minor, Under-20, and Senior All-Ireland hurling titles.[12]
