Thomas Patrick McCarthy (August 1905 – June 1968) was an Irish hurler who played as a centre-forward for the Limerick senior team.[1]
McCarthy was born on 10 August 1905 in Kilfinane, County Limerick, to Thomas McCarthy and Nora Fitzgerald.[2] His great uncle was Irish Nationalist James Gubbins Fitzgerald.
McCarthy first arrived on the inter-county scene at the age of twenty-one when he first linked up with the Limerick senior team. He made his debut in the 1927-28 Thomond Feis. McCarthy went on to play a key part for Limerick during a golden age for the team, and won two All-Ireland medals, four Munster medals and four National Hurling League medals. He was an All-Ireland runner-up on two occasions.
McCarthy represented the Munster inter-provincial team at various times during his career, winning three Railway Cup medals. At club level he won fifteen championship medals with Ahane.
