Shane O'Sullivan (born 5 November 1985) is an Irish hurler who plays as a midfielder for the Waterford senior team.
O'Sullivan joined the team during the 2004 National League and immediately became a regular member of the starting fifteen. Since then he has won two Munster medals and one National Hurling League medal. O'Sullivan has ended up as an All-Ireland runner-up on one occasion.
AT club level O'Sullivan is a three-time county championship medalist with Ballygunner.
O'Sullivan plays his club hurling with the Ballygunner club in Waterford and has enjoyed much success.
He made his senior debut as a sixteen-year-old in 2002 as Ballygunner started a remarkable losing streak of being defeated in three successive club championship finals. They broke this unenviable record at the fourth attempt with O'Sullivan winning his first championship medal following a 2-10 to 1-12 defeat of De La Salle.
Ballygunner lost two further finals in succession before O'Sullivan won his second championship medal in 2009 following a one-point defeat of Lismore after a draw and a replay.
After surrendering their title in 2010, Ballygunner reached the championship decider again in 2011. O'Sullivan was captain as the club recorded a facile 1-19 to 0-6 defeat of Tallow.
O'Sullivan began his inter-county career as a member of the Waterford minor and under-21 hurling teams, however, he had little success in these grades.
He made his senior competitive debut in the National League in 2004, before making his championship debut later that season in a Munster semi-final against Tipperary. O'Sullivan later won his first Munster medal as Waterford defeated Cork by 3-16 to 1-21 to win one of the greatest games of hurling ever played.
