Gerard Cavlan is an Irish former Gaelic footballer who played for the Tyrone county team. He was part of the team that won the All-Ireland Senior Football Championship in 2003.
He made his senior debut in 1993 against Wexford, at the age of 17.[1]
Cavlan represented Ireland in the 2000 International Rules Series against Australia.[2] His breakthrough year was in 1996 during Tyrone's march to the All-Ireland semi final, and he scored six points in that match.
In 2006, shortly after Tyrone were knocked out of the All-Ireland championship early, Cavlan was one of several Tyrone players who took up the option to play for an American GAA club.[3]
In the 2007 Ulster Championship first round, Cavlan came on as a substitute, and scored an injury time free kick to win the game for Tyrone, against their neighbours, Fermanagh.[4]
