Patrick J. Cunneen (born 1936) is an Irish retired hurler who played at club level with St. Patrick's and at inter-county level with Limerick.
From the St. Patrick's club, Cunneen first came to prominence on the inter-county scene with the Limerick junior team that overcame London to win the 1955 All-Ireland Junior Championship. Promotion to the senior side followed, with Cunneen lining out in goal when Limerick surprised Clare to win the 1955 Munster Championship.[1] The team, labelled "Mackey's Greyhounds" after their trainer Mick Mackey, were subsequently beaten by eventual champions Wexford in the All-Ireland semi-final.[2]
