Dillon Quirke was playing for Clonoulty Rossmore in a Senior Hurling Championship tie against Kilruane MacDonagh in Semple Stadium in Thurles on Friday evening.
Just before half time, he collapsed to the ground.
He received medical attention on the pitch before being taken to hospital by ambulance as the game was called off in the aftermath of the incident.
However, tragically, the 24-year-old was pronounced dead on Friday evening.
Tipperary GAA has announced that all games scheduled for this weekend are to be called off as a mark of respect.
The Board issued a statement this evening saying: " Due to the tragic sad passing of Dillon Quirke from Clonoulty Rossmore, the Tipperary CCC has decided to call off all games under its jurisdiction this weekend.
