Andy Comerford (born 1972 in London, England) is a hurling manager and former player, currently embarking on his first season as manager of the Kildare senior inter-county team. He played hurling with his local club O'Loughlin Gaels and with both the Kilkenny and London senior inter-county team in the 1990s and 2000s.
Andy Comerford was born in London, England in 1972. He spent the first seven years of his life in London before moving to Kilkenny in Ireland. While in London Comerford never saw a game of hurling and his first introduction to the game was when his father made a makeshift hurley for him out of a floorboard. In Kilkenny Comerford played hurling with his brothers Jimmy and Martin on the local O'Loughlin Gaels club. He was educated at St. Kieran's College, a famed hurling nursery. His hurling skills quickly earned him a place on the senior team and he won back-to-back All-Ireland colleges titles in 1989 and 1990. Comerford later attended Waterford Institute of Technology where he won a Fitzgibbon Cup medal with the college hurling team in 1992. Shortly after his graduation from college, Comerford moved to London.
Comerford played his club hurling with the O'Loughlin Gaels club in Kilkenny. He had much success at under-age levels with the club and later, when he lived in London, he joined the Brother Pearse's Gaelic Athletic Association club. When Comerford returned to Kilkenny he rejoined the O'Loughlin Gaels club, winning Kilkenny SHC titles in 2001 and 2003 and a Leinster Senior Club Hurling Championship title in 2003.
