Fergal Moore (born 7 July 1982) is an Irish hurler who currently plays as a right corner-back for the Galway senior team.
A brother of former Galway hurler Cathal, Moore made his first appearance for the team during the 2004 National League and has become a regular member of the starting fifteen over the last few seasons. Since then he has won one Leinster winners' medal and one National League winners' medal.
At club level Moore plays with Turloughmore.
Moore plays his club hurling with Turloughmore. He enjoyed some success in the juvenile and underage grades, however, success at senior level has eluded him.
Moore first came to prominence on the inter-county scene as a member of the Galway minor hurling team in the late nineties. It was a successful era for the county's minors, with Moore collecting an All-Ireland medal following a 0-13 to 0-10 defeat of Tipperary in 1999.
The following year Moore was still a key member of the Galway minors, and he collected a second All-Ireland medal following a 2-19 to 4-10 defeat of Cork.
By 2002 Moore had joined the Galway under-21 team and he lined out in yet another All-Ireland final. Limerick provided the opposition, however, in spite of being marginal favourites Galway were trounced by 3-17 to 0-8.
Moore was appointed captain of the Galway under-21 team in 2003 as he lined out in a second successive All-Ireland final in that grade. Kilkenny were the winners on that occasion by 2-13 to 0-12.
In 2004 Moore made his debut with the Galway senior hurling team. He won a National Hurling League medal that year after a 2-15 to 1-13 defeat of Waterford in the final. He made his championship debut later that year in an All-Ireland qualifier against Down. Since then he has been a regular with Galway, however, his career has been hampered through injury.
