O'Connor's brother, Glen, lined out with Cork in the 2009 National Hurling League while her uncle, Bill Geaney, captained Cork to an All-Ireland Under 21 Hurling Championship title.[2] In her autobiography, Why not a Warrior (written with Sinead Farrell), O'Connor stated that she met her wife Aoife, a teacher, in 2012 as a result of O'Connor playing association football for Knockavilla Celtic in West Cork, around thirty minutes from where she lived (Knockavilla's manager was Aoife's father).[3]
O'Connor is a soldier in the Irish Army.[3]
