James Cleary (28 September 1889 - 5 November 1937) was an Irish hurler. His career included two All-Ireland Championship victories with the Dublin senior hurling team.[1]
After moving to Dublin at an early age, Cleary joined the Faughs club in Templeogue. He won eight Dublin County Championships with the club between 1910 and 1923.[2] Cleary's success at club level saw him drafted onto the Dublin senior hurling team. He won his first All-Ireland Championship title in the 1917 All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship, before claiming a second winners' medal in the 1920 Championship. Cleary also won four Leinster Senior Hurling Championship titles in a five-year period between 1917 and 1921.
