Paudie O'Sullivan (born 28 November 1988) is an Irish hurler who plays as a Full Forward for the Cork senior team.
Born in Cloyne, County Cork, O'Sullivan first played competitive hurling during his schooling at Midleton CBS Secondary School. He arrived on the inter-county scene at the age of sixteen when he first linked up with the Cork minor team, before later joining the under-21 side. He made his senior debut during the 2007 National Hurling League. O'Sullivan has since become a regular member of the starting fifteen, and has won one Munster medal.
As a member of the Munster inter-provincial team O'Sullivan has won one Railway Cup medal. At club level he has won several championship medals with Cloyne.
O'Sullivan's brother, Diarmuid, is a three-time All-Ireland medalist with Cork, while his father, Jerry, has filled a number of important administrative roles with the Cork County Board and the Munster Council.
During his secondary schooling at Midleton CBS, O'Sullivan was a key member of the senior hurling team. He won a Dr. Harty Cup medal in 2006 following a narrow 2-8 to 0-12 defeat of St. Flannan's College.
O'Sullivan plays his club hurling and Gaelic football with Cloyne and has enjoyed some success.
In 2004 he was just fifteen years-old when he made his debut with the club's senior team. The following three years proved difficult for Cloyne as the club became the first team in over sixty years to lose three successive senior championship deciders. In spite of these defeats O'Sullivan was regularly one of the top scorers in the championship.
