Amy Boyle-Carr (born 6 January 2001) is an Irish footballer who plays as a midfielder for Sligo Rovers and has appeared for the Republic of Ireland women's national team. She also plays ladies' Gaelic football for the Donegal county team.
Boyle-Carr is from Glenties. She played youth soccer for Lagan Harps and Donegal Town,[1] and represented Donegal in the Gaynor Cup. In January 2017 she signed for Sion Swifts of the Northern Ireland Women's Premiership.[2]
In July 2022 Boyle-Carr made a soccer comeback, signing for Women's National League (WNL) club Sligo Rovers.[3]
Boyle-Carr has been capped for the Republic of Ireland national team, appearing for the team during the 2019 FIFA Women's World Cup qualifying cycle.[4] Impressed by her performances with the Republic of Ireland under-17s, Ireland coach Colin Bell named 16-year-old Boyle-Carr in his senior squad for two friendlies with Portugal at the Estádio de São Miguel, Ponta Delgada, in January 2018.
She won her first senior cap on 10 April 2018, in a 2–0 FIFA Women's World Cup qualifying defeat by European champions the Netherlands at Tallaght Stadium. Boyle-Carr had acquired tickets to attend the match as a supporter, so was surprised to be picked to play.[5]
As well as soccer, Boyle-Carr plays ladies' Gaelic football. In 2019 she decided to focus on playing for the Donegal county team.[6]
