James "Jimmy" Barry-Murphy (born 22 August 1954) is an Irish hurling manager and former hurler, Gaelic footballer and association footballer. He was the manager of the Cork senior team from 2011 to 2015, returning a decade after his first tenure as manager. Barry-Murphy is regarded as one of the most iconic players in the history of Gaelic games.
Born in Cork, Barry-Murphy was introduced to hurling by his father who himself was an All-Ireland medallist with Cork along with his father and uncle. He enjoyed little success at colleges level with Coláiste an Spioraid Naoimh before later establishing himself as a dual player with the St. Finbarr's club. A dual four-time All-Ireland medallist with the St. Finbarr's senior teams, Barry-Murphy also won a combined total of five Munster medals and ten championship medals.
Barry-Murphy made his debut on the inter-county scene at the age of sixteen when he first linked up with the Cork minor teams as a dual player. An All-Ireland medallist in both codes, he later won a combined total of three All-Ireland medals with the under-21 teams. Barry-Murphy made his senior football debut during the 1973 championship. He went on to play a key role for Cork in attack and won one All-Ireland medal, four Munster medals and one National Football League medal. Barry-Murphy's eleven-year career with the Cork senior hurlers saw him win five All-Ireland medals, a record-equaling ten Munster medals and two National Hurling League medals. He was an All-Ireland runner-up on two occasions.
