Cornelius Murphy (born 1965) is an Irish former Gaelic footballer who played for the Dr. Crokes club and at inter-county level with the Kerry senior football team.
Murphy first played Gaelic football at juvenile and underage levels with the Dr. Crokes club in Killarney. He won a Kerry U21FC title in 1986. By that stage Murphy had also joined the club's top adult team, having won a Kerry IFC title in 1985. He later won two Munster SCFC titles and was man of the match when Dr. Crokes beat Thomas Davis in the 1992 All-Ireland club final.[2] Murphy's club career ended shortly after winning a second Kerry SFC medal in 2000.[3]
Murphy first appeared on the inter-county scene for Kerry as a member of the minor team in 1983. He later spent a year with the under-21 team, however, his underage career ended without success. Murphy made his senior team debut during the 1987–88 league, however, his career coincided with a relatively fallow period in terms of success.[4] In spite of this, he was selected on the All-Star team in 1989 and won a Munster SFC medal in 1991.[5]
Murphy was appointed manager of the Kerry junior football team in 2002. His two-year tenure in charge saw the team win consecutive Munster JFC titles, however, Kerry lost the 2002 All-Ireland junior final to Wicklow.[6]
