Born in Ardfinnan, County Tipperary, Cummins arrived on the inter-county scene at the age of sixteen when he first linked up with the Tipperary minor team, before later joining the under-21 and junior sides. He made his senior debut in the 1969 championship. Cummins went on to play a key role for almost a decade; however, he experienced little in terms of silverware with Tipp.
