Tyrone Gyle Howe (born 2 April 1971, Newtownards, Northern Ireland) is a former rugby player who played on the wing for University of St Andrews RFC, Ulster, Ireland and the British & Irish Lions.

Howe was brought up in Dromore and attended Banbridge Academy. He played for Oxford UniversityinThe Varsity Match against Cambridge in 1994 and 1995, captaining the team in 1995.[1]

In 1996, Howe was diagnosed with Gilmore’s Groin, an injury that resulted in a three-year absence from rugby. After initially being told he would be unable to play elite rugby again, Howe played for Newbury RFC when Ulster coach Harry Williams came to watch him play and subsequently offered Howe a contract to rejoin Ulster for the 1999-2000 season.[2] On 10 June 2000, he made his senior international debut for Ireland against the United States. It was Ireland's largest win, the final score finishing 83–3. He also toured with the 2001 British & Irish Lions. In total, Howe won 14 caps for Ireland.

Howe retired from professional rugby at the end of the 2005-06 season.[3] In 2005, he was elected to Banbridge District Council as an Ulster Unionist Party candidate. In 2007, he resigned from the council citing work commitments.[4] Howe regularly appeared on Sky Sports rugby coverage as a commentator and analyst, having previously worked for Setanta Sports.

He taught at Uppingham School in Rutland for nine years and in September 2019 became headmaster of Shiplake College.[5]
