Stephen White (born 14 October 1988) is an Irish hurler who played as a midfielder for the Cork senior team.
Born in Ballygarvan, County Cork, White first played competitive hurling in his younger days. He arrived on the inter-county scene at the age of sixteen when he first linked up with the Cork minor team, before later lining out with the under-21 and intermediate sides. He made his senior debut in the 2008 National Hurling League. White has since gone on to be a regular member of the team, however, he has yet to claim any silverware.
At club level White is a Munster medallist in the junior grade with Ballygarvan. He has also won a junior championship medal with the club.
White plays his club hurling and Gaelic football with Ballygarvan and has enjoyed much success.
In 2004 White was only fifteen years-old when he started playing with the club's top team. A 3-7 to 1-12 defeat of Grenagh gave him a junior championship medal. Ballygravan later claimed the provincial crown, with White collecting a Munster medal following a 0-16 to 1-5 defeat of Tramore.
White joined the Cork minor hurling team in 2005 and made his championship debut when he came on as a substitute in a 4-28 to 0-1 trouncing of Kerry in the Munster quarter-final. He later collected his first Munster medal following a 2-18 to 1-12 defeat of Limerick.
White was eligible for the minor grade again in 2006. A 2-20 to 1-15 defeat of Tipperary gave him a second Munster medal on the field of play.
