Aaron Dunphy (born 1998) is an Irish hurler. At club level he plays with Borris-in-Ossory/Kilcotton and at inter-county level with the Laois senior hurling team.
Career
Dunphy first played hurling to a high standard as a student at Mountrath Community School. He won a Rest of Leinster PPS SBHC title in 2015, before losing the subsequent All-Ireland final to Cross & Passion College from Ballycastle. Dunphy has also lined out for SETU Carlow in the Fitzgibbon Cup.
After progressing through the juvenile and underage ranks at club level, Dunphy eventually joined the Borris-in-Ossory/Kilcotton senior team. He won a Laois SHC title in 2016 after Borris beat Rathdowney–Errill in a final replay.
Dunphy first appeared on the inter-county scene with Laois during an unsuccessful two-year tenure with the minor team. He progressed to the under-21 team in 2017. Dunphy also made his senior team debut that season when he came on as substitute in a National Hurling League defeat of Offaly. He secured his first silverware in 2019 when Laois won the Joe McDonagh Cup title after a defeat of Westmeath in the final. He captained Laois to the National Hurling League Division 2A in 2024.
