Denis Walsh (born 22 January 1965 in Ballynoe, County Cork) is an Irish hurling manager and former dual player of Gaelic games. He is a former manager of the Cork senior hurling team.
An effective dual player, Walsh enjoyed a successful playing career at club level with St. Catherine's and Kildorrery and at inter-county level with Cork. He was a key member of both the Cork football and hurling teams throughout the 1980s and 1990s, winning All-Ireland, Munster and National League titles in both codes.
After some relatively unsuccessful spells as manager of various club sides, Walsh took charge of the Waterford senior football team in 2001. He left after two unsuccessful seasons. Walsh emerged as a surprise contender for the vacant managerial position with the Cork senior hurling team and was duly appointed in March 2009.
Denis Walsh was born in Ballynoe, County Cork in 1965. He was educated at the local national school where he first played hurling and football. Walsh later attended boarding school in Carrignavar where his sporting talents were further developed. Walsh currently works as a self-employed financial adviser.
Walsh played his club hurling with St. Catherine's and his club football with Kildorrery and enjoyed much success as a dual star. He first tasted victory with St. Catherine's in 1983 when the club captured the Imokilly divisional title. St. Catherine's later represented the division in the county championship and defeated Aghabullogue, giving Walsh a county junior championship winners' medal.
In 1984 Walsh was a key member of the Imolkilly divisional football team that competed in the senior county championship. The mighty St. Finbarr's provided the opposition, however, Imokilly proved too strong and won the game by 1–14 to 2–7. Not only was it Imokilly's first major triumph at senior level but the victory also gave Walsh a county senior championship title.
