Ger FitzGerald (born 25 April 1964) is an Irish retired hurler who played as a right corner-forward for the Cork senior team.
Born in Midleton, County Cork, Fitzgerald first arrived on the inter-county scene at the age of twenty when he first linked up with the Cork under-21 team. He made his senior debut during the 1983–84 league. Fitzgerald later became a regular member of the starting fifteen and won two All-Ireland medals and two Munster medals. He was an All-Ireland runner-up on one occasion.
As a member of the Munster inter-provincial team on a number of occasions, FitzGerald never won a Railway Cup medal. At club level he is a one-time All-Ireland medallist with Midleton. In addition to this he has also won two Munster medals and four championship medals.
FitzGerald's father, Paddy FitzGerald, is also an All-Ireland medallist with Cork.
Throughout his career FitzGerald made 16 championship appearances. His retirement came following the conclusion of the 1993 championship.
In retirement from playing FitzGerald became involved in team management and coaching. As well as involvement with several club teams he has also served as either manager of selector with the Cork minor, under-21 and senior teams.
FitzGerald first came to prominence as a goalkeeper with Midleton at juvenile and underage levels.
After claiming a championship medal in the under-21 grade, FitzGerald was also a key member of the senior team that bridged a forty-five year gap to qualify for the championship decider. The opponents, St. Finbarr's, were appearing in their fifth successive decider and were hoping to secure a fourth championship in-a-row. A 1–18 to 2–9 victory gave Midleton their first title since 1916, while FitzGerald collected his first championship medal. He later collected a Munster medal following a 1–14 to 1–11 defeat of Borris-Ileigh in the provincial decider.
