Hurlers Cross ("Cros an Iománaí" in Irish) is a small town in County Clare, southwestern Ireland, situated close to Shannon Town and some 6 km from both Sixmilebridge and Newmarket-on-Fergus. It forms a part of Newmarket-on-Fergus parish.

The name is derived from the meeting of three roads: to Shannon, Newmarket-on-Fergus, and Limerick. The last named is now closed off at the western end of the town, following the opening of a dual-carriageway bypass (N18/N19) serving the Limerick to Shannon route, which has taken away the heavy traffic that was once a feature of Hurlers Cross.
