Diarmuid O'Sullivan (born 27 July 1978) is an Irish hurler who played as a full-back for the Cork senior team.
Born in Cloyne, County Cork, O'Sullivan first played competitive hurling whilst at school in Midleton CBS. He made his first impression on the inter-county scene at the age of eighteen when he joined the Cork under-21 team. He made his senior debut during the 1997 championship. O'Sullivan went on to play a key role for Cork for over a decade, and won three All-Ireland medals and five Munster medals. He was an All-Ireland runner-up on two occasions.
As a member of the Munster inter-provincial team at various times throughout his career, O'Sullivan won one Railway Cup medal. At club level he is a one-time championship medallist with divisional side Imokilly. O'Sullivan also continues to line out with Cloyne.
Throughout his career O'Sullivan made 48 championship appearances for Cork. He announced his retirement from inter-county hurling on 13 May 2009.
O'Sullivan is widely regarded as one of Cork's greatest-ever inter-county hurlers. Throughout his career he won four All-Star awards, as well as being named Young Hurler of the Year in 1999.
In retirement from playing, O'Sullivan became involved in team management and coaching. In 2014 he was appointed manager of the Cork under-16 hurling team.
Diarmuid O'Sullivan was born in Cloyne, County Cork in 1978. He was educated at the local national school in Cloyne village and later attended nearby Midleton CBS. It was here that his hurling talents first came to the fore. O'Sullivan quickly became a key fixture on the school's senior hurling team and, in 1995, he landed a Dr. Harty Cup title – the Munster senior colleges' hurling title. Midleton CBS later qualified for the All-Ireland colleges' final with St. Raphael's of Loughrea providing the opposition. An exciting game developed, however, at the full-time whistle St. Raphael's were the champions by 3–10 to 3–5. A personal tally of 3–1 by Joe Deane was not enough to prevent the defeat.
