Conor Moloney (born 18 July 2002) is an Irish rugby union player. He plays in the back-row and represents Limerick club Young Munster in the amateur All-Ireland League.

Young Munster

Moloney was part of the Young Munster team that defeated Garryowen 11–8 to win the 2021–22 Munster Senior Cup in March 2022.[1]

Munster

Born in Kildysart,[2] Moloney first began playing rugby with Ennis and represented Munster and Ireland at various underage levels, including 'A' level for Munster, as well as joining Young Munster in the AIL.[3] Following the disruption caused by the province's recent tour to South Africa, Moloney was registered with Munster's Champions Cup squad,[4] and made his senior competitive debut for Munster in their opening 2021–22 Champions Cup fixture away to English club Wasps on 12 December 2021, coming on as a replacement for John Hodnett in the province's 35–14 win alongside fellow Ennis RFC men Tony Butler and Ethan Coughlan.[5]

Ireland

Moloney was selected in the Ireland under-20s squad for the 2022 Six Nations Under 20s Championship when it was announced in January 2022,[6] and he made his competitive debut for the team in their 17–16 away win against France on 11 February.[7] [8] Ireland went on to win the Grand Slam in the tournament.[9]
