Darragh McCarthy (born 2005 (age 19–20)) is an Irish hurler. At club level he plays with Toomevara. At inter-county level he was selected, in December 2024, for inclusion in the "training panel" of the Tipperary senior hurling team.
Career
McCarthy played as a student at St Joseph's CBS Nenagh and captained the school's senior team to their maiden Harty Cup title in 2024. McCarthy later studied at University of Limerick and also won a Freshers 1 League title in 2024.
At club level, McCarthy first played for Toomevara at juvenile and underage levels. He won consecutive North Tipperary U19AHC titles in 2023 and 2024. McCarthy also joined the club's senior team in 2023 and was the overall top scorer when Toomevara were beaten in the 2024 SHC final.
McCarthy first appeared on the inter-county scene for Tipperary at the age of 17 as a member of the minor team that won the All-Ireland MHC title after a defeat of Offaly in 2022. He immediately progressed to the under-20 team and was an All-Ireland U20HC runner-up in 2024. McCarthy's performances at school and inter-county underage levels resulted in a call-up to the senior team's training panel in mid-December 2024.
