Tomás O'Leary (born 22 October 1983 in Cork, Ireland) is an Irish rugby union player, who plays scrum-half for Montpellier Hérault Rugby in the Top 14 and European Rugby Champions Cup. The son of Cork hurler, Seánie O'Leary, Tomás played Gaelic football and hurling before committing to rugby.
O'Leary attended Saint Patrick’s School on Gardiner's Hill before going to Christian Brothers College (CBC) for his second level education. CBC has a rugby tradition and this is where O'Leary first started playing. He was recognised as a talent and played Munster Schools Senior Cup for the school. During this time he continued to play hurling and won minor Munster and All-Ireland titles with Cork in 2000 and 2001.
After he completed school, O'Leary chose to continue with his rugby career instead of playing within the Gaelic Athletic Association. He was a member of the Irish U-21 side that reached the final of the 2004 Under 21 Rugby World Cup. Munster announced that O'Leary would be a member of the squad for the following year in August 2005. An injury to Peter Stringer early in the 2005/2006 season meant O'Leary had a chance to play, making his Heineken Cup debut against Sale Sharks in October 2005. He played his club rugby in Ireland with a Munster club, Dolphin.
