Tipperary have lost out to Dublin in their opening National league game in Parnell Park.
Eamon O'Shea's side created plenty of chances but lacked the killer instinct to take the game to Ger Cunningham's Dublin side.
At half time the Premier County were down by nine points after a lacklustre first half performance.
Ger Cunningham’s Dublin side ran out twelve point winners in the end.
The full-time score was Dublin 2-20 Tipperary 0-14.
This was Tipp’s fourth round one league defeat in five years.
Eamon O'Shea said after the match that Dublin had more determination than Tipp to win the 50/50 ball.

Tipp will now host Galway next weekend in Round 2.
Galway were up against Clare in today's other Division 1A match-up in what was a nip and tuck affair at Pearse Stadium.
The Tribesmen ran out one point winners against Davy Fitzgerald's team.
The full time score was Galway 2-15 Clare 1-17.
