James Russell (1 May 1897 – 8 January 2001) was an Irish hurler who played at club level with Shamrocks and at inter-county level with the Cork senior hurling team.
Russell was first introduced to hurling as a schoolboy. He played his first game for the Shamrocks club in 1912 and won a Cork IHC title after a defeat of Castletownroche in 1915.[1] He also lined out the following year when Shamrocks were beaten by Midleton in the senior final. Russell joined the Cork senior hurling team in 1920 and was an unused substitute in that year's All-Ireland final defeat by Dublin.[2] He later lined out with the Cork junior hurling team.[3]
