Seán Cavanagh (born 16 February 1983) is a five-time All Star-winning Tyrone Gaelic footballer. He has won All-Ireland Championships for Tyrone at Minor level and three times at Senior level, and has captained Ireland in the International Rules Series. He is current Tyrone captain.
His playing style is very attack-minded, considering he is usually deployed as a midfielder like the doc himself, and he usually ends up scoring more than most of the forwards on the team. This is complemented on the team by Brian Dooher's tireless workrate from the half-forward line – something he is the first to admit. 2008 was his most illustrious year as an individual. He won his third All-Ireland Senior Football Championship, captained Ireland to victory in the International Rules Series, and then won his fourth All Star award as well as Player of the Year.
His brother Colm Cavanagh is also a current member of the Tyrone panel.
Cavanagh graduated from the University of Ulster in 2004 with a First Class Honours Degree in Accountancy. He has since gone on to follow a career in accountancy.
Cavanagh was an integral part of the Tyrone Minor Team that won the All-Ireland Minor Championship in 2001,. He also won two Ulster Minor Championships with the county. He went on to win two Ulster Under 21 Championships in 2002 and 2003.
He was also enormously successful as school level, winning the Ulster Colleges Championship, the MacRory Cup in 2000, with Saint Patrick's Grammar School, Armagh, earning himself an Ulster Colleges All Star along the way, having scored the decisive goal in the final.
