Philip Cahill (31 August 1899 – 8 September 1945) was an Irish hurler. At club he played with Holycross–Ballycahill, Boherlahan–Dualla and Moycarkey-Borris, and also lined out at inter-county level with the Tipperary senior hurling team.
Cahill first played hurling at club level with Holycross–Ballycahill.[1] He later won Tipperary SHC medals with a Mid Selection (Boherlahan) in 1922 and with a South Selection (Boherlahan) in 1924. Cahill ended his career with the Moycarkey-Borris club, with whom he won back-to-back Tipperary SHC titles in 1932 and 1933.[2]
At inter-county level, Cahill earned selection to the Tipperary senior hurling team in 1922. He made his debut a year later, however, he was dropped for the 1923 Munster final. Cahill regained his place in 1924 and claimed his first Munster SHC medal that year.[3] He won a second consecutive Munster SHC medal the following year before winning his first All-Ireland SHC medal after a 5-06 to 1-05 defeat of Galway in the 1925 All-Ireland final.[4]
Cahill added a National Hurling League medal to his collection in 1928.[5] He won his third Munster SHC after a defeat of Clare in 1930. Cahill lined out at wing-forward when Tipperary beat Dublin in the 1930 All-Ireland final. He also spent six consecutive years with the Munster inter-provincial team and won four consecutive Railway Cup medals from 1928 to 1931.[6]
Cahill died at the District Hospital in Thurles on 8 September 1955, at the age of 46.[7]
