Cian Lynch (born 3 January 1996) is an Irish hurler who plays as a left corner-forward for the Limerick senior team.
Born in Limerick, Lynch first excelled at hurling during his schooling at Ardscoil Rís. He arrived on the inter-county scene at the age of sixteen when he first linked up with the Limerick minor team before later joining the under-21 side. He made his senior debut during the 2015 league. Lynch has since become a regular member of the starting fifteen.
At club level Lynch plays with Patrickswell.
His granduncle, Éamonn Carey, and his uncles, Ciarán Carey and Pa Carey, all played with Limerick.
During his schooling at Ardscoil Rís in Limerick, Lynch had just turned fifteen-years-old when he established himself as a key member of the senior hurling team. In 2011 he won his first Harty Cup medal when he was introduced as a substitute in the 3-19 to 0-3 provincial decider trouncing of Charleville CBS. On 2 April 2011 Ardscoil Rís faced St. Kieran's College in the All-Ireland final. Lynch started the game on the bench but was introduced as a late substitute as Ardscoil Rís looked to be heading for victory. A Thomas O'Hanrahan goal deep into stoppage time secured a 2-10 to 1-11 victory for St. Kieran's.
Three years later Lynch was an established member of the starting fifteen and captain the team from centre-forward. He won a second Harty Cup medal that year following a 2-13 to 0-4 trouncing of Limerick rivals Scoil na Trionóide, Doon.
Lynch was just sixteen-years-old when he first played for Limerick as a member of the minor team on 2 May 2012. He scored 0-1 on his debut in a 0-16 to 1-12 Munster quarter-final defeat of Cork.
In 2013 Lynch was at wing-forward as Limerick faced Waterford in the provincial decider. As Waterford looked to be heading for victory, a last-minute goal from substitute Tom Morrissey ensured a 2-19 apiece draw. The replay was also a close affair, however, Lynch's first-half stoppage time goal proved decisive as Limerick ended a 29-year wait for the title with a 1-20 to 4-8 victory. It was Lynch's first Munster medal.
