Pat Mulcahy (born 1975) is an Irish hurler who played as a right corner-back for the Cork senior team.
Mulcahy made his first appearance for the team during the 1997 championship and was a regular member of the starting fifteen until his retirement almost a decade later. During that time he won two All-Ireland winners' medal, four Munster winners' medals and one All-Star award. He ended up as an All-Ireland runner-up on two occasions.
At club level Mulcahy is an All-Ireland medalist with Newtownshandrum. In addition to this he has also won three Munster winners' medals and five county club championship winners' medals.
In retirement from inter-county hurling Mulcahy became involved in team management and coaching. In 2011 he was appointed manager of the Cork Institute of Technology senior hurling team.
Mulcahy plays his club hurling with Newtownshandrum and has enjoyed much success in a lengthy career.
He tasted his first major success with the club in 1996 when he won a county intermediate championship medal following a 0-12 to 0-9 defeat of Cloyne. As a result of this victory Newtown joined the top tier of club hurling in Cork for the first time in history.
That same year Mulcahy lined out with the Avondhu divisional team that reached the final of the county senior championship. Neighbouring division Imokilly provided the opposition, however, a 1-12 apiece draw was the result. Avondhu won the replay by two points giving Mulcahy his first county senior championship medal.
