David Young (born 13 July 1985) is an Irish hurler who currently plays since 2015 as a right wing-back for the Kildare senior team. He previously played for the Tipperary senior team.
Young made his first appearance for the team during the 2010 National League and has remained a peripheral player over the last few seasons. During that time he has won one All-Ireland winners' medal on the field of play. He has ended up as an All-Ireland runner-up on two occasions.
At club level Young is a two-time Munster medalist with Toomevara. In addition to this he has also won four county club championship medal.
Young plays his club hurling with Toomevara and has enjoyed much success.
After joining the club's senior team as a minor, Young lined out in his first county final in 2003. A 3-16 to 3-13 defeat of Thurles Sarsfield's once again, gave him his first county club championship medal.
Toomevara retained their title in 2004 following a comfortable 4-12 to 2-12 win over Éire Óg/Golden. It was a second successive championship medal for Young. After a number of early exits from the provincial championship in recent years, Toomevara subsequently defeated Mount Sion by just a single point to give Young his first Munster medal.
After surrendering their county and provincial titles in 2005, Toomevara returned to the county championship decider once again the following year. A thrilling 1-21 to 2-14 defeat of Nenagh Éire Óg saw Toomevara take the title once again. Young later won a second Munster medal following a controversial 2-9 to 2-8 defeat of Erin's Own of Cork.
