Paudie O'Sullivan (born 2004) is an Irish hurler. At club level, he plays with Fr O'Neill's and at inter-county level with the Cork senior hurling team.

Career

O'Sullivan played hurling at all grades, including the Dr Harty Cup, as a student at Midleton CBS Secondary School.[1] He later lined out with University College Cork in the Fitzgibbon Cup, as well as winning the pre-season Canon O'Brien Cup in 2026.[2][3] At club level with Fr O'Neill's, O'Sullivan made his senior team debut during the club's Cork SAHC-winning season in 2022.[4]

At inter-county level, O'Sullivan first appeared for Cork as a member of the minor team. He was goalkeeper when the team won the All-Ireland MHC title after a 1–23 to 0–12 defeat of Galway in the 2021 All-Ireland MHC final.[5] He was also named on the Team of the Year.[6] O'Sullivan immediately progressed to the under-20 team and added an All-Ireland U20HC title to his collection after being sub-goalkeeper in the 2–22 to 3–13 defeat of Offaly in the 2023 All-Ireland U20 final.[7]

O'Sullivan was added to the senior team in 2026 and was included on the matchday panel for Cork's opening National Hurling League game against Waterford.[8][9]
