Rory O'Connor (born 1998) is an Irish hurler who currently plays as a full-forward for the Wexford under-21 and senior teams.[1]
Born in Piercestown, County Wexford, O'Connor is the son of John O'Connor and nephew of George O'Connor, both of whom won All-Ireland medals with Wexford in 1996. His brothers, Harry and Jack O'Connor, have also played for Wexford in the underage grades.
O'Connor first played competitive hurling and Gaelic football at inter-county level with St. Peter's College, and won a Leinster medal in 2017. He simultaneously came to prominence as a dual player with the St. Martin's club and won a county senior championship medal in 2017.
After an unsuccessful two-year spell with the Wexford minor team, O'Connor subsequently joined the under-21 team. He made his senior debut during the 2017 championship.
