Dr. Eamon O'Shea (born 1958) is an Irish retired hurler who played as a right wing-forward for the Tipperary and Dublin senior teams.
O'Shea began his senior career during the 1979 championship and was a regular player on the inter-county scene until his retirement after the 1986 championship. During that time he won one National Hurling League winners' medal.
At club level O'Shea is an All-Ireland medalist with Kilruane MacDonagh's. In addition to this he has also won one Munster and four county club championship medals.
A former coach of the Tipperary senior hurling team, O'Shea was appointed manager of the team in September 2012.
O'Shea is currently based in Galway and works as the head of Economics at NUIG.
O'Shea enjoyed a hugely successful career with the Kilruane MacDonagh's club.
He was just out of the minor grade in 1977 when he captured his first championship medal at senior level following a 1–5 to 0–5 defeat of Borris-Ileigh in a replay. It was the first of three county championship winners' medal in succession for O'Shea. Four-in-a-row proved beyond the club as Roscrea won by a single point in the 1980 championship decider.
After a brief absence Kilruane MacDonagh's returned to the summit of Tipperary hurling again in 1986. A 2–11 to 0–10 defeat of Roscrea gave O'Shea his fourth championship medal. He subsequently added a Munster winners' medal to his collection following a draw and a replay victory over Blackrock. An All-Ireland final appearance for the club soon followed, with Buffers Alley providing the opposition. Kilruane fought back and overwhelmed the Wexford side in the final quarter to claim a 1–15 to 2–10 victory and give O'Shea an All-Ireland club winners' medal.
