In 1956 he lined out in his only inter-provincial decider. A 5–11 to 1–7 trouncing of Munster gave Rackard a Railway Cup medal.

In 1984, the centenary year of the foundation of the Gaelic Athletic Association, he was named on the Hurling Team of the Century selection. In 1992 both Billy and Bobby Rackard's brilliance was recognised when they were presented with the All-Time All-Star Award for hurling.
