John O'Neill (born 13 July 1990) is an Irish sportsman. He plays hurling with his local club Clonoulty–Rossmore and with the Kerry senior team.
In 2007, O'Neill was a member of the Tipperary minor team that won the Munster MHC final by 0–18 to 1–11 against Cork.[1] Tipperary subsequently defeated Kilkenny to qualify for the All-Ireland MHC final. Cork, the defeated Munster MHC finalists, provided the opposition and a high-scoring game developed over the course of the hour. At the full-time whistle Tipperary were the champions by 3–14 to 2–11.[2]
On 28 July 2010, O'Neill was a non-playing substitute as Tipperary defeated Clare in the 2010 Munster U21HC final at Semple Stadium, winning by 1–22 to 1–17.[3] On 11 September 2010, he came on as a substitute as Tipperary clinched the All Ireland U21HC title by defeating Galway by 5–22 to 0–12 at Semple Stadium.[4]
He made his senior Tipperary debut in the first round of the league on 12 February 2011 against Kilkenny, scoring a point in a 1–10 to 1–17 defeat at Semple Stadium.[5] In his second game against Dublin at Croke Park a week later he scored a goal and two points.[6]
