Cormac Brennan (born 2 February 1995) is a rugby union player from Ireland. He can play in a number of positions across the backline mainly in the back three, but also covering centre. Brennan currently plays for Irish Pro14 side Connacht, having come through the province's academy. He plays his club rugby for Galwegians.
Brennan was born in Dublin, but was raised in Ballyvaughan in north County Clare from the age of five.[1] In addition to rugby, he also played Gaelic football and hurling in his youth.[2] Growing up in Clare, Brennan supported Munster Rugby, but played his rugby for Connacht club Galwegians from a young age, as it was the nearest team to where he lived. His father Padraig coached teams for the club at underage level.[1]
Brennan attended Cistercian College in County Offaly, and played for the school in the Leinster Senior Cup in 2011, 2012 and 2013. His performances in the Schools Cup saw him involved with Leinster's youth system from under-18 to under-20 level. Brennan received his third level education from NUI Galway, which he began attending after joining the Connacht academy in 2015.[2]
