Nicholas "Nickie" Quaid (born 12 June 1989) is an Irish hurler who plays as a goalkeeper for the Limerick senior team.
Born in Effin, County Limerick, Quaid was introduced to hurling by his father, Tommy Quaid, who enjoyed a seventeen-year career with Limerick. He enjoyed some success at colleges level with Mannix College while simultaneously enjoying championship successes at underage levels with the Effin club. A Munster medal winner with the Effin intermediate team, Quaid has also won several county championship medals.
Quaid made his debut on the inter-county scene at the age of sixteen when he first linked up with the Limerick minor team. He later played with the under-21 and intermediate teams but enjoyed little success in these grades. Quaid made his senior debut during the 2010 league. He has since gone on to play a key role for Limerick as a goalkeeper and as an outfield player and has won one Munster medal and one National League Division 2 medal.
As a member of the Munster inter-provincial team, Quaid has yet to win a Railway Cup medal.
Quaid was born on 12 June 1989 in Effin, County Limerick, to Tommy Quaid (1957-1998) and the former Breda Grace. Nickie was the youngest of their two sons. His grandfather, Jack Quaid, was one of the key players on the Limerick team which beat London in the 1954 All-Ireland junior final. He won a Munster senior medal the following year when a Mick Mackey-trained team shocked Clare in the provincial decider. Tommy Quaid, a native of Charleville, County Cork, worked as a builder and won several Munster and league honours with Limerick between 1976 and 1993, while his cousin, Joe Quaid, succeeded him in the goalkeeping position from 1994 until 2002.
