During his studies at the National University of Ireland, Galway, Hennessy became a key member of the university hurling team. He won a Fitzgibbon Cup medal in 2010 following a 1-17 to 1-16 defeat of the Waterford Institute of Technology.
Hennessy first came to prominence on the inter-county scene as a member of the Tipperary minor hurling team in 2006 as Tipperary reached the All-Ireland decider via the "back-door" in 2006. Three-in-a-row hopefuls Galway provided the opposition, however, Tipp powered to 2–18 to 2–7 victory. It was Hennessy's first All-Ireland medal in that grade.
In 2007 Hennessy won a Munster medal in that grade following an 0-18 to 1-11 defeat of Cork. Both sides met again in the All-Ireland decider, however, Cork also failed on that occasion. A 3-14 to 2-11 victory gave Hennessy a second successive All-Ireland medal.
Hennessy joined the Tipperary under-21 team in 2008 as captain. He won a Munster medal in this grade in his debut season following a controversial one-point defeat of Clare. Tipp later reached the All-Ireland, however, Hennessy's side were defeated by Kilkenny.
