Jack O'Connor (born 1 October 1998) is an Irish hurler. At club level, he plays with Sarsfields and at inter-county level with the Cork senior hurling team. O'Connor usually lines out as a corner-forward.
Born and raised in Glanmire, County Cork, O'Connor played hurling and Gaelic football as a student at Glanmire Community College. [1] He later studied at University College Cork and was included on their Fitzgibbon Cup panel. [2]
O'Connor began his club career at juvenile and underage levels with the Sarsfields club in Glanmire. He won a Premier 1 MHC title in 2014 after a 3-12 to 2-14 defeat of amalgamation side Killeagh/Ita's in a final replay. [3] O'Connor progressed to the club's under-21 team and won Premier U21HC medals in 2017 and 2019, after defeats of Killeagh/Ita's and Blackrock respectively. [4] [5]
O'Connor was just 17-year-old when he made his senior team debut in May 2016. [6] He claimed his first senior silverware in October 2023 when Sarsfields beat Midleton by 0–21 to 0–19 to win the Cork PSHC title. [7] In spite of losing their title to Imokilly a year later, Sarsfields were the Cork representatives for the subsequent provincial series of games and O'Connor added a Munster Club SHC title to his collection after a 3–20 to 2–19 win over Ballygunner in the final. [8] He scored five points from play in the 2–23 to 0–20 defeat by Na Fianna in the 2025 All-Ireland club final. [9]
O'Connor first played for Cork at minor level in 2016, however, his sole season in the grade ended with a defeat by Tipperary in the Munster semi-final. [10] He immediately progressed to the under-21 grade and won a Munster U21HC medal in July 2018 after scoring 1-02 from play in Cork's 2–23 to 1–13 defeat of Tipperary in the final. [11] His last game in the grade was a 3–13 to 1-16 defeat by Tipperary in the 2018 All-Ireland final. [12]
O'Connor made his senior team debut as a substitute for Alan Cadogan in a National League game against Kilkenny in January 2018. [13] He made a number of appearances that season and claimed a Munster SHC medal as a substitute in Cork's 2–24 to 3–19 defeat of Clare in the final. [14] O'Connor was at corner-forward when Cork suffered a 3–32 to 1–22 defeat by Limerick in the 2021 All-Ireland final. [15] He came on as a substitute for Conor Lehane when Cork lost the 2022 National League final to Waterford. [16]
O'Connor came on as a substitute for Alan Connolly at full-forward for Cork's 3–29 to 1–34 extra-time defeat by Clare in the 2024 All-Ireland final. [17] He claimed his first national silverware, this time as an unused substitute, in April 2025 when Cork won the National Hurling League title following a 3–24 to 0–23 win over Tipperary in the final. [18] This was later followed by a second Munster SHC medal after Cork's penalty shootout defeat of Limerick in the 2025 Munster final. [19]
