Flynn first played hurling at juvenile and underage levels with the Killeedy club, before eventually progressing to adult level. He won a Limerick IHC medal in 1992 after Killeedy's 0-14 to 1-05 defeat of Boher in the final.[1]
At inter-county level, Flynn first played for Limerick as part of the minor team that beat Kilkenny to win the All-Ireland MHC title in 1984.[2] He progressed to the under-21 team and won consecutive Munster U21HC titles, before claiming an All-Ireland U21HC medal after a 2-15 to 3-06 win over Galway in the 1987 final.[3]
Flynn made his first appearance for the senior team in a challenge game against Tipperary in a challenge game in January 1987.[4] He was later part of the Limerick team that won the National Hurling League title in 1992.[5] Flynn also won a Munster SHC medal and was a non-playing substitute for Limerick's defeat by Offaly in the 1994 All-Ireland final.[6][7]
