Ciarán Carey (born 16 January 1970) is an Irish former hurling manager, selector and player.
An effective centre-back, Carey is often regarded as one of the greatest players never to have won an All-Ireland medal. Nonetheless he enjoyed a successful playing career at club level with Patrickswell and at inter-county level with Limerick. He was a key member of the latter team during the 1990s and collected two Munster titles, two National Hurling League titles and three All-Star awards.
In retirement from playing Carey has become involved in team management and coaching. At club level he has taken charge of the Tournafulla and Granagh-Ballingarry sides in hurling and camogie respectively. Carey began his inter-county coaching career when he was appointed manager of the Limerick senior camogie team in 2007. He subsequently took charge of the Limerick under-21 hurling team as well as being a selector with the Limerick senior hurling team under Dónal O'Grady. In November 2013 Carey was appointed for a second spell as manager of the Limerick under-21 team.
Ciarán Carey was born in Patrickswell, County Limerick in 1970. He was educated locally and from an early age he showed a great interest in the game of hurling. Carey later worked as a sales representative for O’Dwyer Oil in Pallasgreen, County Limerick.
Carey played his club hurling with the famous Patrickswell team and enjoyed much success in a club career that spanned three decades. He first came to prominence as a member of the club's minor team, capturing a county championship winners' medal in 1984.
Carey had just turned seventeen years-old when he lined out in his first senior county championship final as goalkeeper. Parish rivals Ballybrown provided the opposition, however, 'the Well' narrowly took the title by 1–17 to 3–10 and Carey collected his first county championship winners' medal.
