On 19 October 2014, O'Loughlin won a Limerick Championship from centre-back following a 1-15 to 0-14 defeat of reigning champions Na Piarsaigh.[2] He later won a Munster Championship medal after a 1-32 to 3-18 extra-time defeat of Cratloe in the final.[3] On 17 March 2015, O'Loughlin came on as a substitute for Kilmallock in their 1-18 to 1-06 defeat by Ballyhale Shamrocks in the All-Ireland final at Croke Park.[4]

O'Loughlin first played for Limerick at minor level. On 22 July 2014, he was at full-back when Limerick won their second successive Munster Championship title after a 0-24 to 0-18 defeat of Waterford in the final.[5] On 7 September 2014, O'Loughlin was again at full-back in Limerick's 2-17 to 0-19 defeat by Kilkenny in the All-Ireland final.[6]
