Flahive first played for Cork when he was drafted onto the Cork minor team for the 2013 Munster Minor Championship. [5] Once again eligible for the grade the following year, he was appointed team captain and was at full-back when Cork suffered a 2-17 to 2-13 defeat by Kerry in the 2014 Munster final. [6]

Flahive progressed onto the Cork under-21 team in advance of the 2016 Munster Under-21 Championship. He ended the campaign with a winners' medal after a 3-09 to 1-14 win over Kerry in the final. [7] On 30 April 2016, Flahive was at left wing-back when Cork suffered a 5-07 to 1-13 defeat by Mayo in the All-Ireland final. [8]

On 27 January 2018, Flahive made his first appearance for the Cork senior team when he lined out at right wing-back in a 3-16 to 1-16 defeat by Tipperary in the opening round of the 2018 National League.
