William Joseph Higgins (13 May 1898[1] – 18 February 1969) was an Irish hurler. At club level he played with Cobh and Collins and was also a member of the Cork senior hurling team.
Higgins first played hurling with Cobh before later lining out with the Collins club in Cork. He first appeared on the inter-county scene as a member of the Cork junior hurling team that won the Munster JHC in 1925.[2] Higgins missed the delayed All-Ireland series of games as his performances earned an immediate call-up to the senior team.[3] [4] [5] His debut season was a successful one as Cork made a clean sweep of National League, Munster Championship and All-Ireland titles.[6] Higgins won a second successive provincial title the following year, however, Cork were later beaten by Dublin in the 1927 All-Ireland final.[7]
Higgins died on 18 February 1969, aged 70.[8]
