Alan McCrabbe (born 29 April 1986 in Dublin) is an Irish sportsperson. He plays hurling with his local club Craobh Chiaráin and has been a member of the Dublin senior inter-county team since 2006.
McCrabbe plays his club hurling with his local club Craobh Chiaráin and has enjoyed some success. In 2006 he lined out in his first county senior championship final, with Ballyboden St. Enda's providing the opposition. A narrow 2-10 to 2-8 score line gave Craobh Chiaráin the victory and gave McCrabbe a county winners' medal. Craobh Chiaráin subsequently represented Dublin in the Leinster club series of games. After a defeat of Mount Leinster Rangers, McCrabbe's side were defeated by Birr in the provincial semi-final. McCrabbe was later named on the Dublin Blue Stars team for 2006 at right wing-forward.
Three years later in 2009 McCrabbe lined out in his second county final. Three-in-a-row hopefuls Ballyboden St. Enda's were the opponents once again. On this occasion McCrabbe's side were comprehensively defeated.
McCrabbe first came to prominence on the inter-county scene as a member of the Dublin minor hurling team. In 2004 'the Dubs' reached the provincial decider, with Kilkenny providing the opposition. 'The Cats' continued their dominance of the Leinster Championship and a 1-14 to 1-4 victory gave them a fourteenth provincial title in fifteen years.
McCrabbe later joined the Dublin under-21 team. He lined out in the leinster decider in that grade in 2005, however, after an exciting hour of hurling an Eoin Larkin-inspired Kilkenny claimed a 0-17 to 1-10 victory.
In 2006 both Kilkenny and McCrabbe's Dublin went to battle again in the provincial under-21 decider. Kilkenny survived a second half fight-back from 'the Dubs' to claim a fourth consecutive Erin Leinster title, winning by 2-18 to 2-10. It was McCrabbe's second consecutive defeat in the provincial under-21 final.
