Eamon Kennedy (born 1972) is an Irish hurler who played as a centre-back for the Kilkenny senior team.

Born in Dunnamaggin, County Kilkenny, Kennedy first arrived on the inter-county scene when he first linked up with the Kilkenny under-21 team, before later joining the junior side. He made his senior debut during the 1999 championship. Kennedy went on to play a key role in defence, and won one All-Ireland medal and three Leinster medals.

Kennedy was a member of the Leinster inter-provincial team on a number of occasions, however, he never won a Railway Cup medal. At club level he has won a full set of senior, intermediate and junior championship medals with Dunnamaggin, while he has also won a championship medal as a Gaelic footballer with Kilmoganny.

Throughout his career Kennedy made 9 championship appearances for Kilkenny. Injury hampered his final season and he retired from inter-county hurling following the conclusion of the 2001 championship. Provided by Wikipedia
