Cian McCarthy (born 3 September 1989) is an Irish hurler who played as a centre-forward for the Cork senior team.
Born in Glanmire, County Cork, McCarthy first excelled at hurling in his youth. He arrived on the inter-county scene at the age of seventeen when he first linked up with the Cork minor team, before later joining the under-21 side. He made his senior debut during the 2009 National Hurling League. McCarthy quickly became a regular member of the starting fifteen, however, he enjoyed little in terms of silverware. He has been an All-Ireland runner-up on one occasion.
At club level McCarthy is a four-time championship medallist with Sarsfield's.
His father, Teddy, was a dual All-Ireland medallist with Cork.
Throughout his career McCarthy made 14 championship appearances. He announced his retirement from inter-county hurling on 20 March 2015.
McCarthy first tasted success at club level as a member of the Sarsfield's minor team. He won a championship medal in this grade in 2007 as Sars recorded a 2-15 to 1-8 defeat of Midleton.
In 2008 McCarthy was a key member of the Sarsfield's senior team that faced Bride Rovers in the final of the senior championship. A goal by Robert O'Driscoll with seven minutes of normal time left proved the decisive score as Sarsfield's won by 2-14 to 2-13. It was McCarthy's first championship medal and a first for Sars in fifty-one years.
After surrendering their title to Newtownshandrum the following year, Sarsfield's were back in a third successive championship decider in 2010.Glen Rovers, who were playing in their first championship decider in nineteen years, provided the opposition. A Conor O'Sullivan goal proved vital as Sarsfield's triumphed by 1-17 to 0-18, with McCarthy collecting a second championship medal.
