John Quaid (1932 – 22 February 2021) was an Irish hurler who played at club level with Feohanagh-Castlemahon, at inter-county level with Limerick and at inter-provincial level with Munster.
From the Feohanagh-Castlemahon club, Quaid first came to prominence on the inter-county scene alongside his twin brother Jim on the Limerick junior team that overcame London to win the 1955 All-Ireland Junior Championship. Promotion to the senior side followed, with both Quaid brothers heavily involved as Limerick surprised Clare to win the 1955 Munster Championship. The team, labelled "Mackey's Greyhounds" after their trainer Mick Mackey, were subsequently beaten by eventual champions Wexford in the All-Ireland semi-final. Quaid continued playing for Limerick until the 1960s, by which time he had also won three Railway Cup medals with Munster.[citation needed]
