Playing career

Club

Murphy played his club hurling with the Sarsfield's club in Glanmire, County Cork. In spite of some success he never won a senior county championship title with the club.

Inter-county

By the early 1970s Murphy was a member of both the Cork minor hurling panel and the Cork minor Gaelic football. He won a Munster minor titles in both codes in 1972, while the footballers went on to win the All-Ireland title. Murphy later joined the Cork under-21 hurling panel where he won a Munster medal in 1975. He later became a member of the Cork senior hurling panel, winning a senior Munster medal in 1983. Unfortunately Cork were later defeated by Kilkenny in the All-Ireland final.

Managerial career

Murphy guided Sarsfields to back to back u-14 A hurling championships and a feile na gael in the early ninetiesIn the late 1990s Murphy first tasted managerial success when he guided the Cork under-21 team to back-to-back All-Ireland medals in 1997 and 1998. He also served as a selector under Jimmy Barry-Murphy when he guided Cork to a senior All-Ireland victory in 1999. Murphy became manager of the Cork senior hurlers in 2002. He had an unsuccessful tenure as coach which culminated in his resignation after just one season in charge as the players went on strike due to the authoritarian nature of the Cork County Board.
