Cahill first appeared on the inter-county scene with Offaly during a two-year stint with the minor team before a three-year stint with the under-21 team, during which time he moved from being an outfield player to goalkeeper. [4] [5] He made his debut with the senior team during the 2018 National Hurling League. [6]

Cahill secured his first silverware during the 2021 season, when Offaly claimed the National League Division 2A and Christy Ring Cup titles. [7] He claimed further Division 2A honours in 2023 before winning a Joe McDonagh Cup medal after a defeat of Laois in the 2024 final. [8]
