Tim Crowley (born 14 May 1952) is an Irish retired hurler who played as a centre-forward for the Cork senior team.
Born in Newcestown, County Cork, Crowley first arrived on the inter-county scene at the age of seventeen when he first linked up with the Cork minor team, before later lining out with the under-21 side. He made his senior debut in the 1976–77 National Hurling League. Crowley went on to play a key part for almost a decade, and won three All-Ireland medals, seven Munster medals and two National Hurling League medals. He was an All-Ireland runner-up on two occasions.
Cunningham represented the Munster inter-provincial team at various times throughout his career, winning one Railway Cup medal. At club level he won two junior championship medals with Newcestown.
Throughout his career Crowley made 29 championship appearances. He retired from inter-county hurling on following Cork's exit from the 1985 championship.
Tim Crowley was born Newcestown in County Cork in 1952. He showed great skill as a hurler in his youth, and in time he would go on to have a very successful career with his native county. Crowley joined the Cork minor hurling team in the mid 1960s. In 1969 he had his first major success when he won his first All-Ireland medal as a minor. In 1970 he captured his second consecutive All-Ireland medal at minor level. Crowley subsequently joined the Cork under-21 team with whom he won an All-Ireland medal in 1973, along with other future stars Seánie O'Leary and Jimmy Barry-Murphy.
